Read before you register!

Mt. Triumph, Mt. Baker, & Columbia ML are full for the 2026 camp season.

Each summer, more than 3,000 students take part in transformative leadership experiences through the Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL) Summer Camps.

Hosted at the Cispus Learning Center, Eastern Washington University, and Central Washington University, these camps offer a powerful blend of connection, growth, and inspiration. Students participate in large and small group sessions, hands-on learning activities, personal reflection, and meaningful relationship-building within a vibrant, camp-like atmosphere.

Facilitated and supported by the dedicated staff of the Association of Washington School Leaders, a division of the Washington School Principals’ Education Foundation, each session is thoughtfully designed to help students strengthen their leadership skills and return to their schools and communities with new confidence and purpose.

Participants often describe it as “the best week of their summer,” a week that shapes who they are and who they aspire to become. Many alumni credit their time at an AWSL Summer Camp as a life-changing experience that continues to impact them well beyond high school.
