High School Leadership
Grow personally, spiritually, relationally
High School Leadership Camp and Training programs challenge students to grow in all areas of life. Most importantly, a person’s leadership influence flows from a healthy and growing relationship with God and a clear understanding of our identity in Christ. Building upon a spiritual foundation, students will learn communication skills that will enhance their relationships with friends, family, and throughout their community.
Through intentionally focused activities and experiences, students will:
- grow in self-confidence
- identify their unique strengths and leadership gifts
- gain experience in team building, leading groups, communicating with confidence, conflict resolution, and goal setting
