WHY A LEADERSHIP CAMP?

Today’s youth and children need opportunities to develop a positive sense of their self worth, well being and potential.

At Hidden Bay our desired outcome for each camper is the development of character and leadership ability. We focus on activities as a means of developing attitudes, knowledge and skills that will enable each one to confidently conduct themselves in a courteous, respectful, responsible and confident manner not only at camp but also at home and at school.

Everything we do encourages each camper to –

  • Think for themselves
  • Make good choices
  • Set goals
  • Make plans
  • Problem solve
  • Take responsibility
  • Experience success and celebrate the success of others

Hidden Bay generates a positive, esteem building environment using the Future Aces Creed. Campers are recognized, and recognize others, on a daily basis using “Caught you doing something good”. In this way, they are encouraged to develop healthy relationships with their peers and Counsellors, to respect each other, and during our reflective “pond time”, to be comfortable in acknowledging and verbalizing their feelings.

Although our leadership training program includes the traditional Leadership in Training (LIT) and Counsellor in Training (CIT) programs, Hidden Bay begins to focus on setting and attaining goals and the development of leadership qualities and skills with even the youngest camper.

You are invited to our Awards Ceremony on the last day of camp when we recognize campers, not for competitive activity, but for the personal achievement of goals and the development of leadership qualities.
