Leadership Week
July 1 - 6, 2018
Becoming a Counsellor at Lead Week:
Age: 14 & Up
(10 of 50 spots will be reserved for participants aged 14-15)
Focused on building on the strengths of our young people, participants will gain skills vital to any leadership position. Emphasis will be given to the skills needed to excel at being a camp counsellor. Activities will focus on developing positive communication skills, building team unity, and enacting effective discipline. The week is filled with adventure including awesome games both day and night, 48 hours on the Island, wall climbing, and much more. Suitable participants will be asked to come back and put these skills to good use as an on-site Junior Counsellor for our summer camps. These teens and young adults are challenged to learn and live out their Catholic faith in a real way. Jesus becomes our example of what it means to be a leader in the world.
Who is a Junior Counsellor?
Our volunteer counsellors are the dedicated heart of summer camp. They follow the requirements as mentioned above, have attended our Leadership Week (counsellor training), have summer camp experience, and enjoy working with children. First time Junior Counsellors will be paired with a more experienced Junior Counsellor. Some may also get the opportunity to be a Volunteer Dishwasher. Not everyone who comes to Lead Week is guaranteed a spot as a volunteer that summer. In addition to participating actively in Lead Week, individuals must prove their talents during Lead Week and/or through volunteer dishwashing, and/or through out the year at Camp Encounter events as volunteers.
