TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS:
YOUR FUTURE WORLD LEADERS START HERE
Teens ages 16 and 17 looking to increase their responsibilities at Camp and gain community service hours may choose to take part in Chingachgook’s Leadership Development Programs.
Those interested can choose from either a 3-week Counselor-In-Training Program, 2-week Leader-in-Training Wilderness Program, or opt to participate in both programs for a 5-week well-rounded Camp experience. These unique opportunities provide teens with the chance to develop their personal leadership style, hone in on their communication and problem-solving skills, and gain valuable professional development that will help them succeed at Camp, in school and in any workplace.
