Have fun, make friends, and learn Leadership Skills at camp. Teen Leaders teaches principles of leadership through two unique and fun programs, Leaders in Training (13-15) and Counselors in Training (15-17). Under the direction and support from the Teen Mentor, Teen Leaders participate in camp activities, at a leader level, learning both advanced skills and how to teach and talk about skill development. Teen Leaders will learn to be role models to younger campers, lead games and songs, and complete a service project with their peers while journaling about their experience. Being a Teen Leader can be a transformational journey that takes teens to the next level of their leadership development.
