Developing the Next Generation of Leaders
Young Leaders provides an opportunity for former Camp Blodgett campers, ages 14-17, to develop leadership skills in order to prepare them for leadership roles in their schools, communities, at camp, and in their futures. Young Leaders participate in monthly meetings, camp related service opportunities and a winter retreat at Camp Blodgett.
During the summer, Young Leaders help out at camp in many ways:
Youth interested in participating in the Young Leaders program must be 14 years old by June 1 of the upcoming summer season, and must complete an application to participate. The application includes two recommendation forms to be completed by teachers, supervisors, mentors, or adult family-friends (no family members, please).
Youth interested in being considered for a Young Leaders position during summer camp may be asked to participate in an interview. To be considered for Young Leaders summer program, applications must be submitted to the Camp Blodgett office by March 15. Interviews for the Young Leaders summer program will take place in the Spring each year.
