Mt. Rainier Leadership Camp

Preparing the one to empower the many

Rainier gave me the tools to be successful. The JCs & SCs helped guide me to be a better and more comprehensive leader than I had ever known possible. From learning how to CAREfront a situation to boundary breaking, it changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone who thinks they are a leader in some capacity.

Empowering students to have the courage to lead

Mt. Rainier Leadership Camp empowers student leaders with the skills necessary to foster positive culture and climate in their schools and communities. We develop young leaders who will be able to navigate complex situations, manage conflict, and form meaningful relationships.

We focus on personal development and communication skills through mixed council groups with students from schools across our state. We engage students in collaborative projects, challenge course initiatives, group reflection, and project management to provide student leaders with the opportunity to practice and apply their new skills.

Our students leave energized, motivated, and prepared for the year ahead. They head back to their communities with a growing network of peers and adults who continue to support their goals and growth.
