White Stag leadership camp in the Sierras!
White Stag Sierra is one of the best deals you’ll find for summer fun and learning. Come to White Stag Sierra and you’ll have fun transporting your entire team across an “infected” swamp without touching the ground. Or help every member get through a massive, poisonous spider web without getting trapped.
Camp in the High Sierras, swim in Lake Sterling, hike through chasms, climb mountains, eat in the outdoors. Have fun and make new friends.
Sign up for only $320 before February 28 and save! Save hundreds of dollars compared to other camps, and at least $100 when compared to similar week-long camps. We throw in the beautiful high Sierra scenery for free! Apply today.
White Stag Sierra is a high-adventure program. This year canoeing is part of high-adventure fun at summer camp.
Leadership camp for youth 11-16
White Stag Sierra is a fun-filled week of games, leadership skills-building, high-adventure teamwork, campfires, camping, hiking, and more. Make new friends and learn by doing in the outdoors of the California High Sierra!
With our 5o-plus year history, we’ve learned a lot, but we’re still small enough to give each individual the attention they need to have a fun summer camp experience.
Our leadership development summer camp program is for boys and girls and young men and women who have completed the 5th grade through 17 years old. Our program is for youth and led by youth.
Register early and save
When you attend summer camp you’re called a candidate, because you must prove your readiness and ability to accept the challenge to Follow the White Stag.
Our next summer camp is set for July 9-15, 2017 at Camp Cole in the Tahoe National Forest. We can only accept 100 candidate participants in 2017. Registration is open now. Want to learn more about leadership? Looking for fun and personal challenges? To sign up, Apply for Camp.
Expand your horizons
White Stag leadership camp challenges you to overcome your limitations, to expand your boundaries, to become a better person. It’s not for everyone. Learn leadership skills
We help you develop 11 essential leadership skills that you can use to be more effective in your school, at home, and in your community. During summer camp, you get multiple opportunities to learn and practice these leadership skills in small and large group settings. You will also develop plans for applying these skills at home and in your community. We have been helping youth like you learn about leadership since 1958.
Three levels to meet your needs
White Stag leadership development camp offers three programs to meet your needs. If you’re a Boy Scout, you can attend White Stag Sierra before or after NYLT. Choose a level based on your age, Scout rank, experience, physical ability, and grade level.
