About the White Stag Program

White Stag Leadership Development is a 50+-year-old non-profit program that teaches adults and youth a specific set of eleven leadership competencies. Our youth staff, mentored and coached by adults, work year round to plan and present two week-long camps each summer. During the training week, you get multiple opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills in small and large group settings. They develop plans for applying these skills at home and in their community.

About Our Staff

Experienced adults and trained youth leaders closely and continually monitor all elements of the program. We believe that the challenge of leadership development is best taught in a setting where the participant can apply, in a hands-on setting, the skills of outdoor living.

Who the Program is For

The program is open to boys and girls who have completed the 5th grade through 17 years old. We offer three phases for youth based on their age and maturity. Find out which phase is right for you or read about our aims, leadership skills, and why we've been around for 50+ years.

Enrollment is Limited

We filled out camp sessions during the past summer. You should apply early and pay fees on time to reserve a space. All candidates are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

We have added attendance during the past two years and expect applications to exceed our maximum enrollment this year. Space is limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Apply to White Stag Sierra early!
