Students from Adam's P.A.C.E., a youth sector program offering individualized academics at Champlain College, from left, Johnny Viron, Donnick Patrice, Sarah Bouchard and Paige Nimis, attended a leadership retreat for 40 students at the Notre-Dame-de-Fatima Centre Plein-Air in L’Île-Perrot on January 13 and 14. Organized by the Department of Student Services, the retreat aims to unite student leaders from various groups, clubs, student initiatives and teams to give them the opportunity to learn about themselves and others through various workshops. This year’s theme was “Roots to Rise.”

Two Adam’s P.A.C.E. students were asked to lead energizer activities. “Every year, I am amazed by our students and how much they grow over the course of these 48 hours!” said Adam's P.A.C.E. teacher Natalie Henri.
