STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

For students going into grades 8-12 in the fall. The program empowers students to make an impact as Camp Counselors, Activity Leaders and Administrative Support Roles under the direction of a mentor. Students will develop skills in conflict resolution, learn healthy ways to manage stress and increase confidence in their abilities all while building positive trusted friendships that last a lifetime! Not only will it be the highlight of their summer but looks great on job and college applications.
