Teen Leadership 2 Applications are Open!
Teen Leadership 2 registration will be open to applicants who are selected after completing an application and interview. Typically, there are 12-14 spots for the Teen Leadership 2 camp.
Sessions 5 and 6
(To participate in this program, each camper must commit to both sessions with a break in between).
This two week program is an incredible opportunity to enhance and develop self-confidence, self-awareness, communication skills, tolerance for adversity, and a personal leadership style. As a follow-up from Teen Leadership 1, your training as a TL2 will begin when you step on to the ferry and will guide you to feel more confident and comfortable with your skills as a leader and communicator. Over the course of this program, you will graduate from being a camper to becoming a leader in your community, and possibly as a future Westwind staff member. This is an endless opportunity to be challenged, practice your leadership and creativity, be a positive role model, and make new friends. Apply now to join our amazing TL2 program where you will experience the challenges and wonders of two inspiring weeks at Westwind!
*Completing Teen Lead 2 is not a requirement to become a Westwind staff member, but it provides you with helpful and meaningful skills.

For one session of camp, Teen Apprentices receive a hands-on glimpse of what it means to work at Camp Westwind. On the first day of the session sit with the Teen Apprentice Coordinator and develop your schedule for the week based on your program interests. Teen Apprentices have a choice between shadowing the waterfront coordinator, nature specialist, arts specialist, and media specialists. Apprentices will also have time to shadow a cabin counselor to gain experience working with children and facilitating activities.
