The Camper Leadership Programme (CLP) is a leadership programme for previous campers. It’s designed to teach the group life skills that can be used outside of camp and help rebuild confidence and encourage peer support.
At Barretstown we offer previous campers the opportunity to return and take part in the Camper Leadership Programme (C.L.P.). The programme runs over 3 sessions throughout the year. This programme is designed to help campers see all the skills and qualities that they already possess. Throughout the programme opportunities will be created to help campers make new connections with other campers who have been part of Barretstown programmes in the past. Along with this campers will learn new skills along the way that will hopefully benefit them in whatever avenue they decide to go down. Some of the time will be spent learning skills that staff utilize at camp as we believe that these skills can be used in all walks of life. Please note that learning how to be a camp staff member is not the primary focus of the programme.
The C.L.P Programme for 2021 will take place on the following dates:
- April 9th - April 11th
- July 13th - July 15th
- October 28th - October 31st
Please note that depending on restrictions in place, some sessions may take place in a virtual setting.
The programme is open to previous Barretstown campers between the age of 15-17 years old during the programme dates outlined on the Barretstown camp calendar. Applicants should be ready and eager to participate in the programme. Applicants must obtain two written references as part of the application process. They can be from a teacher, coach, former employer etc.
Contact michelle.moroney@barretstown.org for a link to the application. Simply fill in the Camper Leadership Application form online, press submit and you will be contacted after the closing date.
Once your application has been received, a Barretstown staff member will be in contact with you to schedule an interview.
Please Note:
The goal of this programme is not to create future staff members but to create future leaders. Places are limited so apply early.
