Youth grades 7 and above come participate in Winter Leadership Camp! A weekend full of leadership development and fun! From team building and making new friends to winter recreation and campfire, there will be something for everyone!  Youth will participate in hands-on, interactive sessions to gain a better understanding of what it means to be a leader and how to apply being a youth leader in their club, county, and school. 
Adult leader volunteers are needed as chaperones to support youth in learning leadership skills and experiencing the great outdoors.
