This area focuses to ensure that our Members have access to projects that would provide them with a firm basis for increasing their leadership, personal, business development skills both inside and outside the Jaycees.

Rock Climbing and Ropes Course
Challenging yourself is never more fun than when you are climbing a wall or swinging form a rope. Rock Climbing and Ropes Course are two of our most popular projects. These projects give individuals an opportunity to confront and overcome inner fears and allows members to learn teamwork and self-confidence.

Art of Investment
Each month, our Members gather to learn about managing their money, investments, and the stock market. Jaycees research stocks and track portfolio performance as a team. By learning and studying current events and business practices, our Members gain valuable business skills.

Time Management
Managing your time is a vital skill when you are balancing a job, family and work within the community. Our seminars in topics such as time Management, Delegation Skills, and Communication help our members learn skills that will enhance their personal and work life.

Camping Trip
Each Labor Day weekend, we go back to nature by going camping in a beautiful area of New England. This project, designed to let members celebrate the last week of summer, enables them to enjoy and learn recreational skills such as boating, hiking, bike riding, and water skiing.


Health, Stress and Nutrition
The primary purpose of these projects is to help Jaycees live healthier lives by informing and educating them about the health benefits of managing stress, eating good foods, and the importance of exercise. These projects can range from a Spa Day to Nutrition, Yoga, and Massage seminars.

Ski Trip
The Ski Trip will be a one-day trip to Mt. Snow, Vermont. This will be the fifth year of this one-day trip, and all of the previous trips have been very successful. The trip is booked through Ski Market in Manchester, CT. Ski Market coordinates the bus transportation, ski tickets, lesson packages, and optional equipment rentals. This arrangement has worked to our benefit in the past. First, by using Ski Market, Jaycee members and guests are able to ski at a discounted rate (the transportation and lift ticket combination cost less than the price of a single ticket at the mountain.) Secondly, because the Ski Market personnel handle all of the arrangements, we are able to focus on promoting the project within the chapter, collecting the money and ensuring that our membership has an enjoyable outing.
