Overview of the Red Hat Shelton Challenge:
The Red Hat Shelton Challenge is a six-day, residential program built on the Shelton Leadership Center’s core values – integrity, diversity, social responsibility, and compassion – and is designed to help high school students enhance their capacities to become values-based leaders. This immersive program is designed to transform potential into real-world skills through mentorship, self-reflection, and shared discovery. The Challenge is for rising 10th – 12th grade high school students.
Three week-long camps are held at NC State University:

Participants in this six-day summer experience strengthen their skills in conflict resolution, time management, decision-making, and project management. Students are placed in hands-on leadership roles and participate in 360-degree evaluations with mentors.
Overview of Staffing Levels:
Each team of 10 students are led by a Peer Leader (PL), a Coach, Mentor, Trainer (CMT), and a professional Instructor – the structure allows for a continuum of learning.
