Environmental Leadership Program

Regretfully, Wildwood will not be operating a residential, overnight camp program in 2024, so the Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) and Counselors-in-Training (CIT) will not be available. Learn more

About the Environmental Leadership Program

Nature needs the next generation of environmental leaders to be ready. The goal of our Environmental Leadership Program is to equip and encourage teens to be effective environmental advocates and conservation leaders in their homes and communities. 

Each teen will learn more about how humans interact with and impact the environment while developing a strong connection to nature. They will be given opportunities to practice leadership—through teaching, service, outdoor adventure, and more—among their peers and younger campers. 

Each group of participants will also focus on an environmental or conservation topic and how they can apply their leadership skills to make a positive impact on the world.
