LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CAMP

Leadership camp for me was the beginning of a long journey in becoming a true servant leader. Being able to see first hand what a real leader looked like allowed me to be able to take some of those skills that I had and move them to the next level. My 16 days at leadership camp catapulted me into my camp career which has ultimately shaped the person that I am today. At the centre of all of this is Jesus. Then years later, as a camp director I got to see campers transformed into staff. Leadership camp is a life-changing experience that will open your eyes to a different way of living.

To be honest, I was extremely hesitant to go to Leadership Development Camp. But as soon as I arrived, I was immediately engulfed by the incredible welcoming of the LID staff, and it did not take me long to build fast friendships with the other campers. At LDC, I learned so much about spending time with Jesus and the loving impact that God wants to have on my life as soon as I invite Him in. I learned some ways that I can serve Him through my skills and talents! LDC was an amazing opportunity to connect with others, grow in my faith (like an IMMENSE amount!), and experience camp in its richest form. I am so thankful for my LID experience and would encourage anyone to do it!

LDC impacted me because it was a wonderful opportunity to explore my leadership skills and my faith with a group of like-minded people. My favourite things about LDC were all of the great people, the canoe trip, and the opportunity to do volunteer placements at camp.
