Youth Leadership Programs

Each summer Hopa Mountain offers two week long summer camps to their Park and Gallatin County participants. These camps offer local teens opportunities to expand their leadership skills, develop positive assets to share with their local communities, and participate in outdoor activities and challenges. Each summer camp is followed by ongoing monthly adventures in nature, art, and community service. These camps are based on an application process, and presented free of charge.

Youth, 12-18, living in Gallatin and Park Counties are invited to be a part of Hopa Mountain’s Youth Leadership Program. The Youth Leadership Program offers teens weekly opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills through activities such as adventure-based experiential challenges, outdoor problem solving games, inquiry-based science education, local art projects, self-awareness exercises, and community service learning initiatives. The programs also help teens prepare and gain access to resources for college. To learn more about current Youth Leadership Program activities please visit http://hopamountain.org/youthblog/.

The Youth Leadership Programs are made possible thanks to generous support from the Beim Foundation, Mountain Sky Guest Ranch Fund, the O.P. and W.E. Edwards Foundation, the Walter L. and Lucille Braun Family Charitable Gift Fund, and Hopa Mountain members.
