Leaders In Training

July 5-11, 2026

Ages 13-15

$600 if registering by January 31st, $650 if registering after February 1st + HST

Leadership in Training Overnight Camp at Trail of the Pines is a transformational week at Stayner Camp designed to help young leaders grow in confidence, character, and practical skills. Through engaging games, outdoor adventures, hands-on work projects, and opportunities to assist younger campers, participants will experience meaningful leadership in action. In a supportive community and overnight setting, they’ll learn to collaborate, communicate, and serve with purpose. Most importantly, each child will learn more about what it means to be a leader—as they explore what the Bible teaches about leadership, shaping them into thoughtful, capable role models both at camp and beyond.
 

Our Vision: To empower young leaders in their confidence as leaders, leadership skills, and ability to see themselves as leaders as they develop into leaders at Stayner and Mishewah, in the Church, their schools, their communities, and the world!

Our Mission: To facilitate a small group of 13-15 year olds to work together for a week, learning about leadership through sessions, observation and discussion, gaining practical skills working with kids at TOP Day Camp, growing in their faith through team building, personal and team devotions.

 
Activities: Leadership training sessions, devotions, hands-on camp leadership experience, work projects, off-site team-building excursions.
 
Skills learned: Communication, teamwork, problem-solving, decision making, personal growth, spiritual growth.

Meet the Directors

Abe and Rileigh’s journey with Evergreen Christian Ministries began over a decade ago in 2013, when they met at the leadership boot camp as volunteer camp counsellors. Their shared passion for serving children and youth quickly bonded them in a lasting friendship which ultimately led to marriage today. Camp remains an essential part of their lives, and they are thrilled to be part of shaping the next generation of leaders. During the year, Abe works as a private piano teacher and at Bethany Church KW where he serves in worship, children, and youth ministries. Rileigh works at a children’s treatment centre as an Occupational Therapist supporting the development of children. Together, Abe and Rileigh are devoted to creating a positive and inspiring camp experience that encourages young people to grow in faith, leadership, and community.
