Leadership Camp (Indiana)

June 11 – 17, 2023
For boys entering 6th – 8th grade

Leadership Camp

Leadership Camp is an action-packed, one-week overnight summer camp for entering 6th – 8th grade boys. Drawing upon over 30 years of experience, the camp aims to help boys develop the skills and virtues necessary to be leaders.

The Program

Each boy is placed on a team with about 10 other campers with whom he shares a cabin or tent, attends activities, and competes in games. Every morning, campers attend a talk on a specific virtue, as well as classes on filmmaking, biology, engineering, or self-defense. In the afternoons, boys compete in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and dodgeball, followed by a refreshing swim.  Each evening features a camp-wide activity ranging from capture the flag to a treasure hunt to the talent show on the last night.  Other activities including canoeing, archery, and mini-Olympics are offered throughout the camp.  Spiritual activities, such as daily Mass, praying the Rosary, and confession, are offered.

Throughout the week, the counselors of each team help the boys to apply principles of leadership and lessons from the virtue talks to concrete situations during the camp. Most importantly, the staff speak individually with each camper to help him grow in self-knowledge and to formulate resolutions for growing in character after the camp.
