About the White Stag Academy

The White Stag Leadership Academy, which sponsors the White Stag program, is a Federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We currently sponsor a Learning for Life program, a Boy Scout Troop, and Venture Crew 122 on the Monterey Peninsula. These youth organizations plan and produce a week-long summer camp program for youth ages 10½-18 focusing on leadership development. The youth plan the menus, write the program plans, develop the ceremonies, manage equipment, and do nearly everything else that can be done without a driver's license and a checkbook. It is truly a program for youth by youth.

Our Vision

Ten thousand youth learning leadership.

Our Mission

To enhance the quality and character of individuals and empower them to influence their communities and environment in a positive manner.
