Experience Unforgettable - Camps & Retreats

    Lead 10

    Lead 10 camps are centered around helping students build further understanding of how they are chosen by God, and how to establish their purpose and identity in Him.

    The Lead 10 Program has been designed for emerging leaders going into Grade 10 who are growing in their Christian faith and want to take it to the next level. Lead Camps are focused on working with students and journeying with them as they seek to lead a God-centered life.

    Lead 10 is a 1-week leadership camp that focuses on developing a life of faith in Jesus Christ through the study of servant leadership as laid out in God's Word. During Lead 10, campers will participate in group teaching sessions, personal devotions, team building activities, rotating service projects, spiritual disciplines, worship times, and fun and exciting summer camp activities!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is Lead 10 different than a grade camp week?

    Lead 10 is a leadership camp where campers will take part in extended sessions, team-building, and focused service opportunities. Lead 10 still has aspects similar to our traditional grade camps. However, there will be times where Lead is going to be serving and helping facilitate different activities for our grade campers. Please read "Typical day in the life" FAQ for more information.

    Can I cancel and what will happen if I do?

    Cancellations

    • Cancellations prior to June 15th will forfeit the $50 non-refundable deposit processed at time of registration.
    • Cancellations between June 15th and the Sunday two weeks prior to the first day of the camper's week will forfeit 50% of the base fee.
    • Cancellations later than two weeks prior to the first day of the camper's week will forfeit 100% of the base fee except in the case of illness* or family emergency. 

    *Contagious Illness Protocol:

    In an effort to keep our campers and staff happy and healthy, Camp Caroline has a contagious illness protocol. The communal living environment of summer camp brings an increased risk for spread of contagious illnesses (e.g. influenza, chicken pox, pink eye, COVID-19, etc.). Staff and campers who have experienced symptoms of contagious illness in the days prior to the start of camp are asked to remain at home until they are no longer contagious.  Campers who reveal symptoms of contagious illness upon arrival at camp or who develop these symptoms while at camp will be isolated from other campers and staff, and parents will be asked to take them home. Camp fees or a pro-rated portion thereof will be refunded in the case of cancellation or early departure due to illness.
