Girls ages 14-16, space limited to 10 campers
Growing Routes Leadership Program (Ages 14-16)
The Growing Routes Leadership Program is designed for campers who are ready to build on their existing strengths, take on new challenges, and grow into more confident, capable leaders. This program weaves together all the best parts of camp—play, creativity, connection, and exploration—with daily leadership-focused activities that encourage independence, adaptability, and decision-making.
Campers in this program will have a stronger voice in shaping their daily experience while learning to assess risks and rewards, make choices, and reflect on the outcomes. Through hands-on leadership roles, they’ll gain experience planning, organizing, and leading activities for other campers.
Leadership isn’t just about taking charge—it’s about learning to work collaboratively with peers, practicing positive self-talk, and fostering a sense of inclusion and encouragement. Campers will explore strategies for managing stress and anxiety, strengthening their self-awareness, and building relationships with confidence.
Beyond camp, the skills explored in this program will help prepare participants for:
Navigating high school with more confidence, adaptability, and stronger decision-making skills.
Leading on sports teams by developing communication, teamwork, and motivational skills.
Taking on leadership roles in clubs, student government, or extracurricular activities.
Engaging in community service and volunteer work with more independence and initiative.
Becoming a CIT or future counselor, gaining hands-on experience in responsibility, teamwork, and mentorship.
Strengthening life skills, including goal-setting, emotional resilience, and relationship-building.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of their individual strengths, a greater intrinsic motivation to lead, and the tools to take on leadership roles both at camp and beyond.
