New for 2025
CORE
A Leadership and Discipleship Program for Grades 8-10
The CORE program at Bayside is designed for youth looking to enhance their personal and spiritual growth while developing essential life skills. Through engaging workshops, skills training and mentorship opportunities, participants will gain confidence in their leadership abilities and learn practical skills that will serve them in various aspects of life.
Guided by camp leaders, this two week program integrates Christian values with hands-on experiences, combining teamwork, faith and learning in a supportive environment.
Join us this summer to invest in your future and cultivate a strong foundation for leadership in your community.
The new CORE program will have a focus on skills and leadership training and will incorporate less camp work.
Participants will still learn the basics of kitchen, crew and program at camp. But will also have an opportunity to learn about archery, climbing tower and canoeing.
Over the two weeks more time will be spent in training and learning experiences and the curriculum will be a mix of some old and many new components. We believe this new program will set them up well to move towards LIT next summer.
