Youth Leaders
Our Youth Leaders mentor younger campers and help shape camp programming, building responsibility and leadership that lasts beyond their time at camp.
Youth Advisory Council
Our Youth Advisory Council brings together eight elected juniors and seniors who step up as leaders both at camp and throughout the year. By helping plan programming in the off-season and serving as role models during camp, they shape experiences that inspire and connect every camper. Their voices ensure our youth programs continue to grow with the needs of the next generation.
Torchbearer Award
The Torchbearer Award is the highest recognition given to graduates of our youth program. Presented at the annual state convention, it honors young adults ages 18–21 who have completed at least four years of senior camp and demonstrated outstanding dedication to our mission and values. Recipients apply through a written essay and are celebrated with a plaque and induction ceremony.
Leadership Opportunities
County-Level Opportunities
Leadership doesn’t end when camp is over. County-level involvement opens the door to new opportunities for graduates to stay engaged, grow as leaders and make a meaningful impact close to home. By carrying forward the skills they’ve gained at camp, young people can continue building connections, influencing programs and strengthening their communities as active members of our organization.
National Opportunities
National Farmers Union offers young people the chance to take their leadership further through programs like the Youth Advisory Council, the All-States Leadership Summit and advocacy initiatives. These opportunities build leadership and advocacy skills while connecting participants with peers nationwide, expanding their worldview, networks and the foundation they built at camp.
Become a Camp Counselor
As a camp counselor, you’ll build leadership, communication and problem-solving skills that will serve you well beyond the summer. Becoming a counselor is a meaningful way to give back while helping create unforgettable experiences for others.
