Special, Instructive, Inspiring, Amazing.
The mix of theory - speeches, action - group activites, and setting - Saklikoy.
I can't summarize how special , instructive and inspiring I considered the YGA Leadership camp.
Once in a Lifetime experience.

The passion for change and Leadership.
It was truly an amazing experience.
The lectures, seminars, team building exercises.
Such an encouragement towards passionate, courageous and honest leadership is all too rare today. At YGA leadership camp I learned many new lessons.
It was WONDERFUL.

After Several Days of seeing the wonders of Istanbul I thought a leadership camp would pale in comparison.
What a wonderful surprise. The leadership camp was the best.
Saklikoy, Lectures, Seminars, Activities were all amazing.
During one activity we were paired with visually impaired Turkish friends. In pairs of two we climbed 8 meters in the air and walked on ropes with 3 friends supporting our harnesses.
This team work and display of courage was one of the most powerful things I had witnessed in a long time. Seeing beautiful Istanbul is one thing but seeing the beauty in a person that will inspire me for life is now one of my foundest memories of Turkey and of Young Guru Academy .

The Paradise of Saklikoy made the perfect backdrop for an amazing experience.
The seminars, lectures seemed as though it was tailored to my ears. The speakers knew very well where their audience was coming from and inspired us all to be the best we can be.

I thought the YGA Leadership Camp was the best.
We were all inspired by the lectures, seminars and challenged by the activities we participated with our YGA hosts.
Thank you so much .  I was inspired, moved and learned many lessons which I now will practice in my life.
