Leader in Training Program

What is Cedarwood’s Leader in Training Program?
Cedarwood’s Leader in Training Program is designed for students either entering or graduating grade twelve. The program runs all summer and begins in the middle of June with two weeks of staff training and ends at the end of August. The objective of the program is to train students to be Christian leaders in their schools, families, workplaces, communities and of course at camp. To learn about being a Christian leader involves learning more about how to grow in one’s own relationship with Jesus and sharing Jesus with others. Students will also be considered as hired staff for the summer and will provide support in various areas of the camp program and operations. Cedarwood is looking for students who are excited to grow in their relationship with God, who are actively attending church, and who display to be a leadership potential. Most importantly, we are looking for people who passionately desire to grow in their relationship with Jesus, to serve, and to share the truth of Jesus with others. The Leader in Training Program is an excellent opportunity to make the most of your summer through learning, making new friends and enjoying all of this in the Cedarwood environment.What does a Leader in Training do?
Leaders in Training are involved in all aspects of the Cedarwood camping program including in cabin counseling, skill instruction, maintenance, leading games, and participating in After 8 (our evening program of singing, skits, and presenting the Gospel). They also have the opportunity to learn about sharing the Gospel, being a leader, communication skills, and growing in their own relationships with God through the teachings of different speakers, group discussions, book studies, one to one mentoring, and practical experience. Participation in all aspects as well as completion of all assignments is expected. What is Cedarwood’s Leader in Training Program?
