White Stag Leadership Development Camp is over 55-years old and teaches youth a specific set of leadership competencies. During the camp week, campers
get repeated opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills in small and large group settings. They develop plans for applying these skills in their home organizations, programs, family, and community. Experienced adults and trained youth leaders closely and continually monitor all elements of the program. The program is open to boys and girls who have completed the 5th grade and are not yet 18 years old before camp starts.
Your child will receive hands-on learning experiences designed to help them use proven leadership competencies pioneered by White Stag. Our program challenges youth to develop leadership skills and apply these skills in their home units, their schools, their church groups, and within their families. We are currently training our fourth generation of youth staff.
Each camper will acquire a greater depth and breadth of knowledge in the following:
leadership competencies:
Getting and giving information
Knowing and using your available resources
Controlling your groups performance
Understand group needs and characteristics
Planning and decision making
Managing the learning by using goals and objectives
Setting the example
Sharing leadership
Counseling
Representing your group
Evaluating and process improvement
And more.
White Stag training is open to all youth who have completed the 5th grade and are not 18 years old before camp starts. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
It is our philosophy that the camper learns best by doing, therefore we ask that the
camper complete the entire Application Form on his/her own, including the question
“define leadership.” If the camper has questions about the course, we strongly
encourage the camper to contact us directly.
**Please, note: making a payment online does not constitute a complete registration.
Great experience! My kids spent several years attending White Stag summer leaderhsip camp. They gained confidence and self-reliance while making good friends and learning how to be an effective leader.
