The Senior Leadership program is designed for students who are ready to go above and beyond, leaving Teen Staff better than they found it. From helping lead your peers and taking on additional responsibilities to contributing ideas before the summer even begins, Senior Leaders play an important role in shaping the culture of Teen Staff.
As a leader, you help build community, support younger staff, and model what it looks like to serve with humility, creativity, and leadership. You play an important part in making camp a place where everyone can belong, grow in their faith, and thrive.
Senior Leaders take on a wide variety of responsibilities throughout the year. Including:
Senior Leadership is a highly sought-after role that offers exclusive opportunities to build a close-knit community. Participants attend events like “Week Zero,” arriving early for training, decorating, and connecting with Summer Staff. Upon graduation, students leave with letters of recommendation, transferable job experience, and valuable soft skills to support them in future endeavors.
Senior Leaders embrace the “Back Seat Middle” lifestyle, putting them at the heart of Teen Staff. Beyond the summer, they’re invited to finish their senior year at events while helping the next class of leaders step into their role.
“Working with the Senior Leaders is a total highlight of my summers spent at camp. Providing a space where they can lift their voices to make the Teen Staff program a better place is a real privilege. I’m honored to be able to work alongside them for their final year of Teen Staff before they join our Summer Staff community.” – Kopaska
