Lead Camp is an exciting new leadership development camp option. This experience is broken down into three different levels in which Lead Campers will learn about what it takes to be the next generation of Day Camp Sunshine counselors. Registration for these programs is accessible through your CampWise account. Each level has an applicable application process. If you have any questions about this process, please contact us.
This level is for rising 9th graders. Campers in this program start to acquire the skills needed to run games and manage a group of campers. This level will focus on :
Group management
Creative programming
Developing relationships with campers
Assisting with electives
Scheduling
Answering the question "how do I live the gospel?"
This level is for rising 10th graders and is the last stop before being able to join the Day Camp Sunshine staff. This is the level where all skills learned in Levels 1 and 2 will be put into practice while participants shadow a counselor for four weeks. Acceptance to this level is pending an application and interview. This level will focus on :
Assisting counselors in group management
Running games & electives
Learning about leading Bible studies & other spiritual aspects of camp
Meeting with a Director once a week
*While participation of this program will help the camper learn how to be a counselor, it does not mean that they are guaranteed a position when they turn 16.
**Level 3 campers will be shadowing a counselor, but will not have the same duties and responsibilities as a counselor.
