Leadership Camps
Leadership Camps are designed to develop confident young adults. Through various team building activities, these camps (designed for ages 12-17) help build confidence in decision-making, enhances communication with team members and creates an inclusive environment in which campers are encouraged to step outside of their comfort zone.

Topics in this program include: group dynamics, communication, cooperative learning, leadership styles, followership and confidence. The week will also include fun group activities, team building opportunities and a hot lunch served in Appleby’s cafeteria. Our Junior Leaders will end the week by facilitating activities for some of our lucky Discovery campers!

| SENIOR LEADERSHIP (14-17 YRS.) |
|
Senior Leadership Campers ages 14-17 years will have the opportunity to enjoy Appleby's Campus overnight. Campers will be dropped off on Sunday afternoon and will have 5 nights to experience Appleby at night. We will have evening programming, early morning activities and days filled with excitement. Although not a requirement, Senior Leadership Campers will build on the skills learning in Junior Leadership including: group dynamics, communication, cooperative learning, leadership styles, followership and confidence and will also delve deeper into how to apply those skills based on situations and settings. Senior Leadership Campers will also learn about their diverse communities through a one-hour presentation, covering subjects such as the 2SLBTQ+ acronym, pronouns, and other important subjects to ensure that we are serving our diverse camper community with the utmost respect. The week will include Standard First Aid and CPR-C certification course (a requirement to volunteer and/or work at Appleby Camp) along with recreational swim time in our indoor pool, a hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a campfire night. By the end of the week campers should feel confident in their ability to think quickly, be proactive, be flexible, and have the overnight experience close to home.
The content and style of the Camps-based Leadership programs are less academic and more recreational in nature than our Enrichment Leadership programs. For information about our Enrichment Leadership programs, please click here . |

What Is The Camp Waitlist Policy?
To help place as many campers into programs (and off of waitlists) as possible, we are introducing changes to the waitlist policy for both March Break and Summer Camp programming. When families are contacted by the Camp Office with news of an available spot in one of their waitlisted camps, they will have the choice to either accept or decline the offer, at which time all other spaces their camper is waitlisted for in that week will be released. Families will no longer have the option to decline one waitlisted spot, in the hope of getting into another camp. So please select your camps (and waitlists) carefully! Thank you for your cooperation in helping us get as many campers in their top choice of programs.
Camps Cancellation/Refund Policy
Full refunds will be issued for cancellations of 2025 Summer Camp programs received up to and including May 1, 2025. Please note that this applies to all summer camp weeks, and is a change from our previous policy of refunding up to 30 days prior to any given week of camp. Cancellations received after May 1, 2025 will not receive a refund. Exceptions to this policy are only given in the event of a medical emergency supported by certification from a legally qualified medical practitioner not related to the camper. Refunds will not be provided for inclement weather or for days of camp not attended. Changes to camp programs and/or camp weeks must be requested a minimum of 30 days prior to the first day of camp and are accommodated pending availability.
Appleby College Camps will do everything possible to avoid program cancellations, however we reserve the right to cancel a session of camp due to unforeseen circumstances or if the minimum enrollment is not met. In either of these instances, we will accommodate campers in an alternate program or alternate week or provide families with a full refund. If payment was originally made via credit card, refunds will be processed back to the card on file, less the 2.4% processing fee.
Please note: Full refunds for all March Break Camp Programs will be issued for any cancellations received up to and including February 1, 2025.
