Camp Windy Peak Overnight Camp Camp Windy Peak - 9th to 12th Grade - 3-Week Overnight

Our 3 week Leaders-In-Training program for 9th-12th graders is designed to coach our oldest campers with leadership development, critical thinking, and self-reflection to be best prepared for the future – all while enjoying the inclusive, fun community we are known for.

This group is ready to take on the best adventures we can think of as they push their limits on the Treehouse Adventure high ropes course, a 5-Day/4 night backpacking trip, and so many more unique experiences that makes this adventure stand out from the rest – all towards building lasting knowledge and experience they can use throughout their lives.

Campers will experience leadership development under the supervision of our experienced instructors in order to help them learn and grow as leaders. They may have an opportunity to shadow current staff, lead activities at camp, work on a service project, or even refine interview and resume writing skills.

Is your 11th grader ready for the next step in their leadership development?  Entering 11th – 12th graders can apply to become part of our Guide-In-Training Expedition Program.

Three Weeks of Adventure

Leadership Development & Mentorship Opportunities

Backpacking Trip

Adventure Sports

Leaders-in-Training learn what it takes to lead, including mentoring younger campers, teaching aspects of an adventure activity, and being a role model for others (which they will put into use with our Camp Blue Sky 5th graders). Our experienced staff will provide opportunities for these campers to shadow them and provide real-time feedback to these young leaders, teaching a wide range of tips and techniques that would take weeks to acquire in other settings. From public speaking to teamwork and conflict resolution, teens build leadership skills that will serve them in school, work and all the communities they want to be part of.

Leaders-In-Training embark on a 5 Day/4 Night adventure into the Colorado backcountry. Before they leave, they work together to organize every aspect of the trip, from menu planning to supply decisions to gear packing. Out in the wilderness, they’ll navigate backcountry trails, cook their own meals, attempt to summit a high peak and camp under the stars all while following the  Leave No Trace Principles. They’ll also take part in a solo experience, hiking out from basecamp to spend some reflective time on their own. While our staff are with them throughout, teens are trusted to assess the challenges they encounter and make their own decisions, a vital exercise in building independence, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

Throughout their three-week session, Leaders-in-Training will have the chance to take on our core outdoor activities –  canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, mountain biking, and rock climbing – and many other classic activities such as archery, tree-climbing, community service projects, and much more. They’ll push themselves to learn new skills and advance their proficiency in the adventure sports they’re most passionate about.

Camp Value
"This was the first sleep away camp and backpacking experience for my daughter. The counselors were incredibly welcoming and reassuring. Over the two weeks she not only learned the challenging outdoor skills but also, and more importantly, the soft skills of leadership, collaboration and communication. She made incredible bonds with her counselor and made new friends. She loved the thrill and adventure of the backpack; especially being in new situations and learning new skills. The camp pushed her out of her comfort zone and helped develop her self confidence."

WE TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY

While no outdoor adventure is totally risk-free, we work hard to keep your kids safe. Every activity starts with a discussion about the risks involved -- what they are, how to prevent them, how to respond if something goes wrong -- so kids learn how to approach challenges with intelligence and skill.

OUR APPROACH TO SAFETY
