YMCA of SF Camp Jones Gulch: Teen Leadership Camp

Campers ages 14-16 years old who are interested in developing leadership skills join us at Camp Jones Gulch as Leaders-In-Training and Counselors-In-Training. Young adults develop the skills it takes to be great leaders and are given the opportunity to practice those skills through YMCA summer camp programs.

Camps available are -

LEADERS IN SERVICE

Leaders-In-Training is the first year of our Teen Leadership Camp. LITs participate in many of the classic camp activities, alongside their own special programming centered around developing leadership skills. LITs will spend time working together on our low and high ropes courses, complete a legacy project for the benefit of the camp community, and cook over the campfire on their campout experience.

Ages 14 & 15 years old

COUNSELOR IN TRAINING

Counselors-In-Training is our capstone teen leadership experience. CITs will stay at camp for two weeks, learning and developing as leaders and then applying those new skills with a cabin of younger campers. Their first week of program includes both learning opportunities and a selection of camp activities, including spending time on the Challenge Course. CITs will stay over between traditional camp sessions and experience the space for the night as the only YMCA campers. In their second week, CITs will be assigned a cabin of younger campers to shadow and be role models for!
