Training Description

  Youth learn leadership skills while spending a fun, activity-based, seven-day adventure in an outdoor, overnight camping experience. The White Stag Program has its roots in Boy Scouts of America, and practices Scouting principles, the Patrol Method, and the Aims of Scouting. The training is youth-led by the members of Venturing Crew 122, as an annual Super Activity. The program naturally builds confidence, responsibility, and self-reliance while making friendships that can last a lifetime. The training program is electronics-free. Kids get in touch with nature.  Fees are affordable. The sponsor is White Stag Leadership Development Academy, Inc., an all-volunteer, 501C3 non-profit entity.

Participant Eligibility

 Open to all coed youth ages 10.5 years and entering 6th grade to those not yet 18 years before training begins.

No experience of any kind is required, however, this is an age-appropriate, challenging outdoor adventure that requires core character traits such as a willingness to try, the ability to respect and work with others, and age-appropriate self-control. We reserve the right to dismiss a participant if their behavior is disruptive, with no refund given.  For each participant's success, group placement is made by age, grade, and experience. Full disclosure of special needs during the registration process is required so that plans for a good experience can be prepared.
