(Note: If you have completed Leadership Development Training, please read on for other options!)

For over 11 years, Camp Westminster's Leadership Development Training has given youth invaluable skills for the future. If you desire life challenge, growth in your faith, responsibility and hard work, this is for you. Learn how to work with children and community-building techniques. Conquer the Initiatives and High Ropes Courses and embark on a wilderness trip to incredibly beautiful Algonquin Park (Canada). Cover skills such as packing, map reading, cooking, paddling, tent setup and more. Above all, be challenged to deeper faith exploration! Go home with new friends you'll keep in touch with for a lifetime (just ask some of our alumni...) Guided by a dedicated staff chosen for their example as servant leaders, they will push you to strengthen the abilities God gave you.

Sailing II (15-16 years)
June 22- July 5
Calling all campers who have completed Sailing I and acquired your Beginning Sailing Certificate: come finetune your skills on Higgins Lake with two more weeks of sailing! You will have an opportunity to enjoy other traditional camp activities too. Plus, head out for a day on Grand Traverse Bay, and learn how to sail a traditionally rigged vessel similar to those which were the mainstay of the nearshore fishing industry along the Northeast Atlantic coast from the early 1880s. Includes hands-on participation in the use of scientific gear to collect, observe and evaluate the waters of this area.

Pre-Leadership Development Training (15 yrs. only)
[Year 1 of the Leadership Track]
July 6-19
15 year-olds: You have ONE year to do this! Spend time at CW exploring the qualities of a servant leader and spend time on a trek along the Au Sable River. Small group discussion will focus on leadership and how a growing faith can guide life's challenges. Will you rise to the challenge and embark on the leadership track at Camp Westminster? Come and see what God has in store for you.

Join our fun-loving sailing instructors as they set sail on Higgins Lake each afternoon! For beginner or intermediate sailors who wish to spend more time on their skills.

The Green Connection       August 3-9
(In conjunction with the Presbyterian Conservation Corps)

What do you think about global warming? Do you recycle? Ride your bike on purpose? Your generation is more interested in becoming environmentally conscious every day. Now come to Camp Westminster and DO something about it. Last year's camp completed a special "green" project- a new recycling center at Camp Westminster! Small group discussions and Bible Study will focus on what we can do to preserve the earth that God has given us- all within the theme of "Handle With Care."
