Save the Date! Winter Leadership Camp
Winter Leadership Camp 2027: Snowball Effects
What if one new idea, one conversation, or one small step outside your comfort zone could create something much bigger? Join teens from across 10 counties for a weekend of connection, adventure, leadership, and fun at Winter Leadership Camp! Through interactive activities, team challenges, and meaningful conversations, you'll discover how everyday actions can create a "snowball effect" that inspires positive change in your club, school, and community. Whether you're already a leader or just looking to build confidence, make new friends, and try something new, this camp is for you. Come ready to laugh, learn, and leave with new skills, new connections, and memories that will last long after the snow melts.
Ages 13-18

Try your hand at instant challenges such as building the tallest tower, building the strongest boat. Decorate cookies to eat or take home. Help build a Cardboard City, complete with manpowered electricity to light it up. Egg drop anyone? Build a nest out of paper and fabric to see if your egg will survive.
