We accomplish these goals, by using a variety of summer camp activities lead by our supportive and caring staff. We know how important it is for campers of all ages, as well as our staff, to go home at the end of the day knowing that someone believes in them.

How do you actually practice leadership? We give you real situations that will help you develop the skills that make other people want to be a part of your journey.

Each year of the program has a theme that is associated with the specific skills you will build:

Heart of a Champion: Find where your heart is and the type of person you are inclined to be, while acknowledging that society is likely to pull you in a different direction.

Spirit of a Champion: We help you develop and hone the skills you will need to follow your own path.

Legacy of a Champion: Literally go into the woods and write a mission statement for what that path is.
