Calling all middle school students - are you ready to have some fun and make a difference?  Check out our teen programs for students entering grades 6 - 8.

Middle School Leadership Corps

Are you tired of the typical summer camp experience? Are you ready to do something meaningful — to really make a difference?
Meet new friends, develop leadership skills and have fun while helping out in the community! Each day campers will travel in teams to local preschools, senior centers, food banks and parks for service, fun and games. Do you enjoy cooking, working with children, making new friends or being outdoors? This is the place for you! We also take a trip to Water World or Boondocks Fun Center each week.

Help your child develop an ethic of service in this fun-filled program. Campers are empowered to address important issues in our community as they develop leadership skills. Please see the related article below for all of the benefits your child will experience. All campers must register for two-week sessions. Cancellations must be made two weeks prior to the first day of camp for a refund or credit.
