Does your child have an open mind and a willingness to learn, try new things and have fun? Then our Youth Leaders Summer Camp is for them!

Our vision at Camp Cooby is to help young people be leaders for themselves, others, and the environment. We have been fortunate enough to be running now for 3 years and over this time have been witness to the growth and development of our returning campers. Recently we have noticed a growing demand from our campers and their families to gain experience and development in youth leadership positions. It is for this reason that we have developed our Youth Leaders Summer Camp. The aim of this camp is to give our older campers (13 - 16 years of age) the opportunity to engage in their own 'senior' camp experience for the duration of their stay with others who have a similar interest to grow, share experiences, and make memories as leaders.

Our Youth Leaders Summer Camp is a 3 - 5 day program designed to strengthen the passion and abilities of those who find themselves wanting to make a difference in our community. Over the course of the program, our aim is to equip your aspiring young leaders with tangible, important life learnings, tools, ideas, and skills that they can use to positively impact the world around them. On days 4 and 5 of the camp, those who stay for the week will also get the chance to support in the delivery of our junior Holiday Program and implement some of the skills that they have learnt throughout the week.

Our goal for the program is to build both confidence and character through adventure based group activities and workshops that are both engaging and hands on and cover areas such as:
- Positive communication skills
- Ability to step up and take responsibility
- Making a positive impact on your life and the lives of those around you
- Helping people flourish
- Increasing confidence
- Planning for safety
- Demonstrating the ability to work in a team
- Understanding leadership behaviours and responsibilities
- Group planning and delivery

At the completion of the camp, all participants will also receive a certificate of competency to support any future leadership or job applications.
