Experience. Lead. Change: Welcome to Camp LEAD

Ignite a Lifelong Passion for Social Justice and Leadership

What is Camp LEAD?

Camp LEAD is more than just a summer camp; it's a transformative experience designed to awaken the changemaker in every student. Modeled after our award-winning high school program, Camp LEAD offers a condensed, age-appropriate curriculum that focuses on increasing cultural awareness, honing leadership skills, and instilling a passion for social justice. Your child will engage in hands-on activities, participate in an enriching overnight trip, and connect with a like-minded community, all while learning the fundamentals of activism and leadership.

The fee starts as low as $100 and goes up to $1,000, depending on what each family can afford. A non-refundable deposit of 10% is required to secure your child's spot, with the balance due before the camp session begins.
