"Your camp allowed my daughter to enter a world where she knew she wouldn't be judged or bullied. She feels nothing but love, togetherness, but most importantly, she feels accepted. I cannot thank you enough for allowing me financial help to get her back to camp for the past three summers, and for helping to make my daughter a better, confident, happy young lady."

Outdoor Leadership Program

Camp Burgess and Hayward’s Outdoor Leadership Program is for teenagers who want to develop their outdoor skills, leadership abilities and environmental knowledge. Students will participate in a range of outdoor activities while learning about positive group membership and leadership, good communication techniques, judgment and safety.

These co-ed one- and two-week programs are run from our Adventure Trips Base Camp located next to Camp Burgess.
