The program spans over three years:
​
YEAR 1 Foundations
​Foundations helps participants build a solid understanding of the Christian faith. The curriculum begins at an introductory level so no one is left behind, while still offering depth for those who are further along in their faith.
Foundation is shaped around three main units: Discovering who God is, Understanding God’s story, Responding to God.​​

Our hope is to support teens who genuinely want to be part of this journey; if CLTD isn’t the best fit right now, we’re happy to encourage applicants toward our volunteer program instead.
YEAR 2
Discipleship
Discipleship focuses on deepening both the inner and outer practices of following Jesus. Ultimately, Year Two is about owning your faith and learning to live it out.
​
The year is shaped around three key units: Be with Jesus, Become like Jesus, Do what Jesus did.​

YEAR 3 Leadership
CLTD Year Three is undergoing a significant update this year. Instead of completing staff training, a session week, and then a practicum, Year Three participants will now move directly from staff training into their practicum placement. The practicum provides an opportunity to learn from an experienced leader and gain hands-on experience caring for kids at camp.
Throughout these weeks, students will receive ongoing support from their CLTD leaders, and the program will conclude with a graduation to celebrate their completion of the journey.
Year 3 CLTD’s will apply for their program as a Staff Application.
Stay tuned for Staff Application Launch Date!
Dates:
Year 3: June 28-July 10
*CLTD's go home Friday-Sunday
Graduation: July 10
Year 2 is a
