About the White Stag Program

White Stag Leadership Development is a 50-year-old non-profit program that teaches you a specific set of eleven leadership competencies. Our staff works year round to plan and present a week-long camp each summer. During the training week, you get multiple opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills in small and large group settings. They develop plans for applying these skills at home and in their community. For more information, see

About Our Staff

Experienced adults and trained youth leaders closely and continually monitor all elements of the program. We believe that the challenge of leadership development is best taught in a setting where the participant can apply, in a hands-on setting, the skills of outdoor living.

Who the Program is For

The program is open to boys and girls who have completed the 5th grade through 17 years old. We offer three phases for youth based on their age and maturity. Wondering which one is right for you? Read about our Youth Leadership Development Aims and Leadership Curriculum.
