What is Summer Leadership Camp?
Summer Leadership Camp is more than just a camp—it’s a week-long experience where students build lifelong friendships, grow as leaders, and discover the power of putting passion to action.
Through engaging activities, hands-on workshops, and unforgettable camp traditions, students develop confidence and skills they can bring back to their schools and communities – making an immediate impact on the world around them.
Why Attend?
- Build Leadership Skills: Learn how to lead with confidence, communicate effectively, and inspire others. Discover your leadership style and how to adapt to different situations and scenarios, bringing out the best in you and those around you.
- Make New Friends: Connect with students from across the state who share your passion for making a difference. Through team activities, group challenges, and plenty of free time, you’ll form friendships that last far beyond camp. Many campers say the people they meet here become their biggest supporters and lifelong friends.
- Discover Yourself: Explore your strengths, values, and leadership style in a supportive, fun environment. Camp is a chance to step outside your comfort zone, try new things, and gain a better understanding of who you are and what kind of leader you want to be. With guidance from mentors and peers, you’ll walk away with greater confidence and clarity about your potential.
- Have Fun!: From activities to competitions, every day brings laughter, energy, and excitement. Whether it’s bonding over a silly icebreaker, cheering on your team during a challenge, or sharing stories at night, camp is packed with unforgettable moments. You’ll leave with inside jokes, favorite memories, and a smile that lasts long after camp ends.
What Do We Do at Camp?
Camp blends leadership development with classic summer fun. Here’s a snapshot of what students experience:
- Leadership Labs – Interactive sessions where students practice real-world leadership skills like communication, problem-solving, and project planning.
- Team-Based Challenges – Activities like obstacle courses, puzzles, and creative problem-solving tasks designed to build trust and teamwork.
- Large Group Energizers – High-energy games and mixers that get everyone moving and connecting.
- Reflection & Growth – In between structured sessions campers engage in guided conversations and activities to help students process their experiences and set goals for their leadership journey. It’s a meaningful balance of fun and reflection that makes camp both exciting and restorative.
- Nightly Level Challenges: Each evening features camp-wide experiences designed to challenge, inspire and unite. Testing everything from teamwork and creativity, evenings are filled with unforgettable experiences. e.
Meet Your People: Leadership Councils
At camp, you’ll join a tight-knit team called a Council – a colorful squad of students from across the state who become your camp family for the week. You’ll eat meals together, take on challenges side by side, and support each other as you learn and grow.
Each Council is guided by a counselor team made up of two leaders:
- Senior Counselor (Educator): An experienced teacher or adviser who brings wisdom, structure, and encouragement.
- Junior Counselor (College Mentor): A member of our elected college leadership team. Someone who’s been in your shoes as a camper, knows what it’s like, and is excited to mentor you along the way.
Together, your SC and JC team help lead activities, facilitate discussions, and cheer you on throughout the week. They make sure your Council feels supported, connected, and ready to get the most out of camp.
Councils are where students find their voice, build lasting friendships, and learn what it means to be part of something bigger than themselves.
Who Attends Camp?
Summer Leadership Camp is open to middle and high school students who want to grow as leaders. Many are active in student council, clubs, or athletics, but no experience is required – just a willingness to learn and get involved! Summer Leadership Camp is open to ALL STUDENTS.
What Makes Our Camp Different?
- Leadership Focused: Every activity is designed to teach practical skills while still being fun.
- Student-Led Energy: Our Camp Counselors consist of both current Michigan educators and our experienced College association. Our blended alumni help guide activities, creating an authentic peer-to-peer experience.
