Junior Leadership (Age 13 – 14)
Junior Leadership is a small group of future outdoor leaders, experiencing all that Cal Adventures has to offer while fostering their own leadership goals. This dynamic camp will expose participants to all of our program areas – both on land & water – and a variety of instructional & leadership styles. Focal areas will include group management, teaching & learning styles, facilitation skills, and child development. Junior Leaders will observe and support other programs, develop leadership goals, and cultivate relationships to last a lifetime.
Junior Leaders are our rockstar campers, role models for our younger community members and future staff to look up to. As such, Junior Leaders agree to a Code of Conduct while participating in this two-week camp.
