Our awesome leaders are what makes Canterbury Hills Camp a place where forever memories are made! Leaders help campers reach higher and accomplish more than they thought possible. Campers can take on new challenges because they have fun leaders who care for them and believe in them. With leaders who give their best in cabins, forests, fields, pools, creeks and Dining Halls, campers thrive.
Every camper is unique, so our leaders work hard to find the unique hopes, needs and dreams of every camper and every group. This effort requires ongoing teamwork, patience, listening and creativity. Some moments will be full of joy and wonder. Some moments will be puzzling or challenging. Through it all, leaders bring positive energy, excellence and dedication with a good dose of silliness. To the campers, leaders are role models, even heroes, who leave a lasting impression.
