WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY


“In my one month as a CEO, I learned a lifetime's worth of skills, made lasting friendships, and met the most amazing mentors who continue to inspire me every day. The things I learned inside and outside of the Leadership Studio formed the strong foundation of the leader I am now. From stimulating guest speakers to the 4-day canoe trip in Algonquin, every day of my month of the CEO program was a blessing.”
Rayna Pearlson
CEO Alumni, 2011


“CEO was an experience unlike any other. It was the best spent 4 weeks of my life, and I came out of it stronger. We learned so much about spirituality, leadership and how to be successful in life. From the canoe trip, right up to the graduation, I felt supported by my counselors, directors, and by the best group of peers ever. I can guarantee that you will make life-long friends, while having some of the most memorable moments of your life. CEO will challenge your current view of the world, let you experience how to lead, and give you an opportunity to improve your future. You DO NOT want to miss out on this unforgettable program!”

"I never would have guessed that CEO would be a life changing experience, but it has become the best four weeks of my life. After a four-day canoe trip in Algonquin these 26 complete strangers become my family. From the month of CEO, I was able to grow spiritually and in my confidence as I discovered who I am and where I stand in my faith and in the world. Now I am able to pursue God in ways I never imagined which helps me understand how to truly inspire others. Looking back on our morning sessions, campfires and random moments makes me so thankful that God gave me this opportunity to become a CEO."

"CEO is more than just a month at camp. It is the beginning of a family, the beginning of your ascent in adulthood, and the beginning of the best of you! You will be inspired to go beyond what you know, but you're ready for it!"

"After the month I spent as a CEO at Muskoka Woods I feel like a completely different person. I've grown in so many different aspects, but especially in my faith. Being in an atmosphere where I was comfortable asking "big questions" allowed me to explore who God is to me."

"The CEO program exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The morning sessions and hands-on exercises taught me how to be a great leader and what it means to change the world around you. Everyone in my session became so close through the time we spent together. I know I made friendships that will last a lifetime. I also loved the spiritual opportunities that we were given, I learnt so much about God and was brought so much closer to Him."

"The month that I spent in the CEO program was a life changing experience. I have now gained the self confidence to tackle anything that comes my way. The CEO program introduced me to some amazing people; individuals that continue to inspire me daily. The friendships I made in those four weeks are friendships I know will be life lasting."
