Leadership Track
Campers who are 15-17 are invited to apply to participate in our Leadership Track. Campers on the leadership track (LTs) can expect to participate in daily Bible studies with other LTs on Christlike leadership. LTs will have the opportunity to lead in different areas of camp life such as contributing to all camp worship or in different activities with younger children (Bible study, camper’s choice, etc). Campers participating in the Leadership Track will be assigned to cabins with peers, and primarily serve younger campers through daytime activities. Campers applying for the leadership track should still submit 5 camper’s choice selections.
