Purpose
The Alpha and Omega Leadership Collaborative is designed for youth ages 14–17, providing them with the resources and opportunities to grow in wisdom, health, faith, and friendship. This program was established through the Ray Bryan Award from the Rye Foundation.
What it is
Participants—called Alphas—will attend a dedicated week during summer camp focused on leadership development. They'll have the opportunity to work alongside our camp staff, learning valuable skills and gaining hands-on experience. This program is designed to prepare them for future roles on summer staff.
To participate, campers must be 14–17 years old and display a growing Christian faith. Leadership lessons will be taught from a biblical perspective.
