Young Professional Opportunities: Future Leaders

The Future Leaders Scholarship Program is designed to assist camps in investing in the future leaders. Every camp has student age staff that work at camp each summer who seeks opportunities for leadership and who have a desire to understand the ins and outs of how camp works. They are an essential part of the team and have potential for a career in camping.Being accepted to receive a scholarship through this program will allow camps to provide their young leaders with career development, networking opportunities and support through exposure to industry experts. During the conference, Future Leader participants will be able to attend conference events, be paired with a mentor, meet with executive leadership during a lunch period, assist the committee with operational needs, and be recognized to the conferees.
