Junior Leadership Training

Together, we will be helping out in activity areas around camp, discovering the Christian faith, sharing with one another, playing hard, developing and running a summer day camp and building strong relationships.
The JLT Program will run for two weeks, beginning with a multi-day team building backpack trip. The second week in 2017 will include the running of a day camp on site. Maintaining a reasonable level of fitness prior to coming is strongly encouraged.
