Youth Leadership Camp
Date: June 6 -June 9, 2027
Youth Leadership Camp at Wayland Baptist University is unlike any camp you have ever attended! It is uniquely designed to encourage members of your youth group who have displayed leadership qualities and would like the opportunity to dig deeper into what it means to be a leader.
Your student will spend 4 days worshiping, learning in small group settings, and developing spiritual disciplines that will prepare them for all that God has in store for their future.
If you have a youth finishing 7th grade-12th grade who your church like to send to a leadership camp, Youth Leadership Camp at Wayland Baptist University is the camp for you.
MORE THAN A SUMMER CAMP

Your youth group is full of students with influence.
Some are already leading. Others may not see themselves as leaders yet—but you see something in them.
Youth Leadership Camp helps students discover that Christian leadership isn't about having a title. It's about using who God created you to be to serve Him and influence others.
