Teen Leadership Camp

There's So Much to Explore

TEEN LEADERSHIP IS BACK for spring 2024!

STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Our adventure-based teen leadership trips are an incredible opportunity for your teenager to be challenged and grow in a community of fellow adventurers while learning to discover their identity and share their gifts and talents.

WHAT IS TLC?

Get off the couch and on the trail this spring with one of our premier adventure-based leadership trips! This year we are offering one session, March 31-April 5. Your teen will love this week-long adventure packed with hiking, climbing, rappelling, lunch by a river, camping, and rafting!

 

TLC is a week-long expedition-based program that focuses on leadership development, discipleship and personal growth. Through outdoor expeditions and adventures, team and individual challenges, fun, friendship, and learning, we will focus on high highs, strong connections, trust, leadership development, and discipleship.

 

With nothing but a hiking pack strapped to their back, Teen Leadership Camp (TLC) campers will be required to pack light and be flexible with activities. Our counselors and trained guides will challenge and guide participants as they work to develop their leadership skills and deepen their discipleship and self-identity in Christ.

Laura – Camp Mom

“To my children, Camp Canaan IS Summer! They look forward each year to coming back to reunite with old friends, to build new relationships and be challenged to step outside their comfort zones. Every day is an adventure! As a parent, I value the outstanding staff that directs them and guides them spiritually. It’s great to see the bonding and growth among the campers and counselors from year to year.”
