Leadership Camp is for Navigators ages 14 to 17 years old. Camp meets Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm at the new Pioneers Park Nature Center Education Building. Fee is $160/week. Scholarships are available for those who qualify.
During Leadership Camp youth will grow as leaders and roles models, gain outdoor skills, increase their knowledge of natural science, make new friends, and have the opportunity to earn volunteer hours during summer. An off-site field trip is also included in the week's activities.
Leadership Camp participants have the opportunity to volunteer at Nature Camp for Explorers (ages 6-13) as Junior Counselors (JCs) and assist camp staff with daily activities. To become a JC, Leadership Camp participants must attend the current year of Leadership Camp, complete an application, and exhibit leadership and positive role modeling skills.
If asked to become a JC, volunteer weeks will be assigned based on preference and needs. Volunteer assignments will be finalized on the last day of Leadership Camp.
