Session D1 - Leadership Development Institute (LDI)
Description
The Leadership Development Institute (LDI) program is for teens interested in personal growth, developing leadership skills, and serving the camp community. Participants will get an introduction to leadership, teamwork and working with children by participating in fun, engaging program working directly with their teen leadership director. Participants are housed in our yurts, which are more rustic than traditional cabins, without heat or electricity; bathrooms are a short walk away. The LDI program values servant leadership and participants will complete different projects within camp to better serve our community. Teens will participate in, or often facilitate, evening programs with the rest of camp. Each day ends with the program coming together to participate in an “Embers” session, which is designed to encourage reflection, personal growth, and strengthen community. This is an introductory program to the rest of our teen leadership programs.

We are committed to making YMCA Camping and Outdoor Leadership programs more accessible for everyone. We have lowered our pricing options and developed a voluntary sliding fee schedule. Simply select the price most appropriate for your family. Your selections are completely confidential and do not impact the quality of your camper’s experience.

Price A reflects the full price of sending a camper to the program selected. This level represents the full price of camp operations, including support for long-term maintenance, repairs, and facility enhancements.

Price B is partially sponsored by funds generously contributed by our supporters to help families unable to afford the full price of the program.

Price C is the lowest price, funded by generous contributions donated by our supporters to the greatest extent possible.

Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent anyone from participating in our programs, including financial barriers. If our lowest prices still create a financial barrier that prevents you from participating in our programs, we invite you to fill out a Financial Assistance Application.Once we have reviewed and approved your application, you will receive an email confirming the percentage you have been awarded. The percentage awarded will automatically be applied to your account and be reflected in your final balance. A $50 deposit will still be required to confirm your reservation.
