About the provider
The camp has been building leaders for 54 years. Its staff includes Camp Director Leanne Rohn, Senior Staff, Junior Counselors, and a full-time nurse. The camp says its purpose is to give delegates chances to gain leadership skills, learn more about the democratic process, and exchange ideas. After camp, delegates are expected to be active leaders in their home schools and to share what they learned with other members of their home councils.
Delegates will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the camp session has reached capacity. Students who have attended Summer Leadership Camp once may attend a second time if the student council advisor believes it will be beneficial to the student and their home council. Scholarships are available each year for students with a financial need.
