Leadership Camp

From Camper to Leader

Young Teens | Ages 13–15

Ideal for motivated youth, who are ready to step into real responsibility

Applicants must provide report cards and teacher references

Leadership Camp is a transformative Leadership-in-Training (LIT) program designed for teens aged 13–15 who are ready to step into real responsibility.

Over three weeks, participants work closely with younger campers, collaborate with peers, and receive guidance from experienced teacher-directors—building confidence, communication skills, and a strong sense of purpose in a supportive environment.

Real Leadership Experience

Teens gain hands-on leadership by working with younger campers and contributing to real camp operations.

Team-Based Leadership

Leadership is learned through collaboration, friendship, and shared responsibility—not isolation.

Supportive, Guided Challenge

Led by experienced teacher-directors, teens are challenged with purpose, feedback, and encouragement in a safe, inclusive environment.
