Equipping High Schoolers to Know and Love Jesus

Your camper is already a leader in the making, but they need the right environment to turn their potential into a lifelong, faith-driven impact. You want your high schooler to grow in confidence, build meaningful relationships, and anchor their life in a deep love for Christ.

Leadership Development wants to partner with you in developing your camper into the leader God has created them to be.


We believe Christlike leadership grows from this foundation, equipping students to influence others with humility, purpose, and faithfulness. Through our three-tiered program, campers progress through three distinct but connected areas of development: Servant Leadership, Discipleship and Preparation, and Participation in the Body of Christ.

We believe Christlike leadership grows from deeply knowing and loving Jesus, and that one changed life can lead to many changed lives.

Leadership Sessions

Leadership Development consists of 3 levels: Nehemiah Team, Timothy Team, and Soma. Campers must begin with the Nehemiah Team regardless of their age. View details on a session to learn more about each program.

Cultivating Tomorrow's Leaders Today

It is our belief that leadership is a byproduct of deeply knowing and loving the Lord and that one changed life can lead to many changed lives. Leadership Development exists to create intentional environments where campers encounter Jesus and are transformed through a growing relationship with Him. We believe that as campers deepen their knowledge and love of Christ, He shapes the way they understand themselves, relate to others, and approach leadership.

Teens Need Camp.

As a parent of a teen or pre-teen, you are probably well aware of the major changes taking place in their lives. They are trying to find their own identity and community, trying to figure out their faith, and trying to learn how to filter out the noise of this world. You are no doubt looking for every opportunity you can to help your teen navigate through those changes with confidence. In the Leadership Development program, teens will find belonging in authentic biblical community, gain confidence by experiencing new and hard things in a safe environment, and they are absolutely 100% guaranteed to hear the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
