Welcome to the Little Leaders Winter Leadership Camp for Teens (10–16)

If you’re the parent of a tween or teen, you’ve probably searched something like:

“How do I build my teen’s confidence?”
“My teen won’t talk to me—what can I do?”
“How to help my child with anxiety or low motivation?”
“Ways to get my teenager off screens”
“How to teach life skills to teens”

You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why Little Leaders Winter Overnight Camp was created.

This isn’t just a camp—it’s a life-shaping experience designed to help kids aged 10–16 step away from the pressures of modern life and rediscover who they are.

At our three-day, two-night camp held at the stunning Broken Bay Sport and Recreation Centre, campers disconnect from screens and stress while reconnecting with nature, real friendships, and their own sense of purpose.
