LEADERSHIP CAMP Ages 13-15
Let’s go on an adventure!
This summer we will be offering 2 Leadership Camping trips. Each Camp will offer a week-long experience built around a Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday overnight camping experience.
Each Leadership Week will give campers the opportunity to fish, canoe, kayak, swim, learn survival and leadership skills while forging new friendships that will last a lifetime.
Designed for campers ages 13-15, Leadership Camp is a natural extension of the Camp Sturtevant experience, recognizing the need for more adventure and more challenge. Camp provides breakfast, lunch and snacks every day and dinner on overnights.

Over the course of the summer our campers will grow socially and emotionally. They will build skills through empathy, relationship building, emotion management, responsibility, and personal development, all while having FUN!
Emotional Management: Learn to be aware of and constructively handle both positive and challenging emotions.
Responsibility: Learn to be reliable, committed and fulfill obligations in challenging roles.
Personal Development: Initiate goals, learn persistence and persevere through difficult situations and challenges.
Relationship Building: Plan, collaborate and coordinate action with others.
