As we all know, we love leaders at Camp Huron. It’s fair to say that the development of ours starts at an early age. Campers who return every year start to think about giving back, becoming part of the next generation of leaders who will inspire the next and so on and so on!
In 2024 we shifted to an intentional 3-year Leader in Training Program, during which time we hoped to build a pool of young persons, who by the time they are eligible to apply to work here, will have already begun to build relationships and a sense of belonging to a community of confident servant leaders both at camp and beyond.
