Leader 3 - Placement (Must Have Completed Leader 2 )

Leader 3: Placement – Leadership in Action 

Ready to put your skills into practice? Our one-week Leader 3 Placement camp offers teens aged 14–16 the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a real camp environment. 

Participants will join a supervised camp group and assist with daily activities from morning check-in to afternoon wrap-up. They’ll help lead games, support activity transitions, and contribute to creating an unforgettable camper experience—all while receiving real-time feedback and mentorship from their Head Instructor and camp staff. 

This program runs directly following Leader 2 (July and August options), and the second week must be completed immediately after Leader 2. During this placement, participants will gain in-camp practical experience, benefit from daily guidance from Leadership instructors and individual camp instructors, and develop confidence through real-world leadership responsibilities. 

Prerequisite: Completion of Leader 2 (Instructor in Training). 

Upon successful completion of Leader 3, participants who wish to apply for a volunteer or Level 1 position in next year’s camp season will be guaranteed an interview (age-dependent). In keeping with our focus on fostering independence, applicants will be responsible for confirming application dates, completing the online application, and communicating directly with camp staff,  without parental/guardian involvement. This process reinforces the leadership and professionalism skills developed throughout the program.
