Our Leader in Training Programs
THE IGNITE LEADER-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM
The IGNITE Leadership In Training Program is designed for campers who are between the ages of 10 and 12 years-old. Campers will be given daily leadership tasks which they must perform. These leadership tasks will be designed to promote leadership skills and provide leadership experience.
