junior leaders
The Junior Leaders Program involves 2-week leadership trainings in Eldorado Canyon followed by leadership opportunities alongside counselors with our 4.5 to 6 year-old Junior campers.
This leadership program bridges the gap between being a camper and a young adult. Junior Leaders share their love of camp with Junior Campers and help them develop an appreciation of nature.
Junior leaders gain new skills, such as First Aid and CPR, that help them in working with children & babysitting.
Trainings are two weeks, Experiences are one week.

- Training Option 1: May 29 - June 8 ($625)
Experiences are available to anyone who has successfully completed a Training and are available from May 29 - July 20. Cost: $100 per week.
Ages: Boys & Girls, 12 - 14 for training; up to 16 for experience
Times: Approx. 8:30am - 4:15pm

Training: Junior Leaders get to share in the Eldorado Canyon experience with the other campers there throughout their training.
Experience: Once trained, they are working alongside staff in our Junior Program, which explores many nearby natural areas and is based near downtown Boulder.
Each day, Junior Leaders are picked up and dropped off at locations around Boulder County.
Those locations are:
- Heatherwood Elementary
- Base Camp (20th & Pine)
- Marshall Mesa Trailhead (Training only!)
We have our own big yellow bus! Our driver, Ed, is a district driver for St. Vrain and has been hired not just for his great driving skills, but for his understand of children. There will almost always be additional counselors on the bus to help Ed supervise, lead songs, and check in with each camper.
