West Central MN CEO at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center

From the very beginning of the CEO journey, students are reminded: “It’s easy to do the easy thing—do hard things.”

Today, they did just that. At Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center in Spicer, MN, students were challenged with a 40-foot ladder climb using only safety gear and a rope. The task tested every fiber of their being—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

What stood out was not just individual courage, but the way students came together:
✅ Encouraging one another
✅ Problem-solving as a team
✅ Overcoming fear through trust and perseverance

A huge thank you to Cameron and his team for sharing their powerful message of perseverance, teamwork, and encouragement. And thank you to Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center for supporting the CEO program and helping shape the next generation of leaders.
