Teen Leadership Development

Our vision for teens involves empowering them to make wise and healthy choices, and to build leaders for today and tomorrow. We believe that if given the right tools, teens will rise to the occasion. It is our goal to truly make an impact in the next generation through our Discipleship and Leadership training experiences.

Rise to the Occasion

Discipleship & Leadership Training

Mystic Mountain's Teen Leadership Program originated in 2001 with a group of six teen volunteers and has had hundreds of teen volunteers go through the program since! Our vision for teens involves empowering them to make wise and healthy choices, and to build leaders for today and tomorrow. We believe that if given the right tools, teens will rise to the occasion. It is our goal to truly make an impact in the next generation through our Discipleship and Leadership training experiences.

Train + Lead

Summer Camp Program

Teens complete a faith-based training course, which begins the process of equipping them with leadership skills. The teen team is responsible for the creation and implementation of the entire summer camp program. It is the responsibility of the adult volunteers to keep things on track and safe. Under teen leadership, summer camp has blossomed into three different age group camps of Young Explorers for ages 5-7, Great Adventure for ages 8-13, and Teen Leadership for ages 14-18.

After the Young Explorer and Great Adventure day campers head home for the evening, the teens get to have their own “Summer Camp” experience with activities and fun designed specifically for them!

Teen Council

Leadership Summit Program

If you are a teen interested in volunteering, check out our Leadership Summit program in October and November. It is put on by our Teen Council for those teens that think they might like to be part of the team. Leadership Training begins in January and produces the summer camps for children ages 5 through 13. Teens meet once a month in January through April and then for two weekends in May and June. Different activity training also happens in June. Summer camp begins in late June and ends in July. August and September are recovery months and then things ramp up again in October.

If you’ve missed the Leadership Summits, we can always bring you up to speed!
