Youth Leadership
Your part in the expedition
Some priest-aged boys will serve as Tribe Leaders, leading groups of 8-10 campers.
This is 100% your adventure.
Adults will make sure you’re safe. But they won’t tell you to get up on time, read scriptures, or clean your camp, or follow the schedule.
You’re responsible for that.
All that.
Yup, you.
You’re in charge of charting your course at camp. And you can do it.
There is greatness in you!
