Each participant will plan community and worship activities, and lead groups in discussion and decision making. Community building, recreation and prayer are integral parts of this dynamic formation experience. After the summer Institute, YouthLeader continues to support team leaders by providing practical resources and proven ideas for supporting and training YouthLeader participants. The retreat center is within reasonable driving distance from Baltimore and Washington, as well as Northern Virginia. Each cottage has four small home-like bedrooms, a kitchenette, centrally located baths and showers, and a lounge area for group relaxation.
Facilities are comfortable and air-onditioned.
Transportation to and from YouthLeader will be the responsibility of the individual parish or school. Drivers should be 21 years of age or older. Taking a team away for an extended experience of leadership formation can be an expensive venture. Many groups and individuals would support Christian youth leadership development if they were given the opportunity to contribute to an effective program. The YouthLeader Resource Manual includes fund-raising methods that can help make this experience more affordable and develop community support.
