Mindset of a Leader day camp

Our Mindset of a Leader program is open to teens ages 13-18 who have a desire to find their unique calling. Participants should want to discover their potential, be open to personal growth, and commit to breaking through their barriers.

We cultivate a sense of belonging and celebrate an individual’s unique worth and provides the opportunity for mentorship.  Goal setting and commitment will create and establish good soil for tomorrow’s leaders to grow and succeed.
