Leadership Development

- Problem-solving and decision-making
- Conflict resolution strategies

- Goal-setting and personal responsibility

Leadership in Action
With new skills and confidence, teen leaders will apply what they’ve learned by assisting younger campers during our Try-It Day Camp and Primary Camp.
They will:
- Take on leadership roles in small groups
- Guide younger campers through activities and challenges
- Learn responsibility in a real-world camp setting
This hands-on experience is a powerful resume-builder for future jobs, volunteer work, and leadership opportunities in school.
Teen Leaders who are 15 and 16 may be invited to volunteer a 3rd week
Parents: This is a great way for teens to gain volunteer hours, work experience credits and real-world leadership experience!
