Winners' Camp Leaders
Winners’ Camp leaders are passionate role models who know the experience inside and out—they’ve each attended at least two camps as participants before stepping into leadership. Their deep commitment, positive energy, and first-hand understanding of our program make them uniquely equipped to guide, inspire, and support every camper on their journey.
Through their time at camp, these leaders have developed valuable life skills that support them far beyond the hilltop. From improving communication and building healthy relationships to growing confidence and resilience, Winners’ Camp prepares them for success in school, college, and the workplace—and empowers them to lead with purpose in all areas of life.
