Camp would not be possible without our staff!
Every year, men and women from all over Texas willingly give up a week of their lives to spend time serving the teens that attend The Leadership Kids Camp. These men and women are truly what make what we do so special at The Leadership Kids Camp. Camp could not run without them, as they are the ones who run all the activities, prepare the meals, teach the classes and mentor the campers.
Our staff is very unique being that most of them are former campers of The Leadership Camp. Some of them have been coming ever since they were in the 6th grade! Many of these former campers have gone into ministry and all are active in their local congregations. All of our staff have a real passion for teaching and mentoring children and work hard to inspire every child to lead others. This makes the commitment of our staff very strong and unique from any other camp. We truly want to extend our thanks to all those who have spent time being staff at Leadership Kids Camp. Each member of our staff are required to participate in a thorough training course by our directors each year the day prior to camp that covers counselor and teacher training. Prior to them coming to camp they are required to take a sexual abuse and molestation training course required by the State of Texas every two years that they complete online. Our cooks are also all required to take a food handlers course and present their food handlers certification card to the camp directors. We want to make sure your campers have the best of the best when it comes to the staff members that will be taking care of them!
Attention All Staff
All of our camp staff must take a course on sexual harassment and abuse prior to setting foot on the camp grounds.
The course is free and takes about 1 hour to complete.
Here’s a link to that course:
