As you move into the next stage of your life, you likely have many questions— what makes you unique? What things are you passionate about and how can you make a difference in the world? What does a good leader look like and how can you be one?

These questions and others will be addressed in this one-week program for individuals ages 18 & 19. It will be held at Camp Timber Tops, August 12th-19th, 2023, alongside but as a separate program from the Ronald McDonald Camp. The focus of the program is to have a great time while you learn more about yourself, develop your leadership skills, and enjoy being part of a group of people your age. Activities will include individual reflection, group discussions, teamwork activities and fun, hands-on experiences in a traditional camp setting. There will be limited interaction with campers, so that you can experience personal growth during the week.

Eligibility:

  • Childhood cancer patient or sibling (siblings must have been a former RMC camper)
  • Ages 18 or 19
  • Able to live independently
  • COVID and childhood vaccinations
  • Background clearances (PA child abuse, FBI, criminal background check)
  • A willing spirit!
