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 and a winter retreat at Camp Blodgett.
During the summer, Young Leaders help out at camp in many ways:
