Leaders Camps

Learn beyond the classroom.

The 2025 Leaders Camps are here!

The GELP Impact Leaders Camp is a transformative two-day experience that equips youth with the skills, confidence, and global perspective to lead with purpose. Through interactive workshops, mentorship circles, arts-integrated learning, and adventure-based activities, students are empowered to take action in their schools and communities.

This summer, GELP is offering customizable leadership camp modules focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate action, and community impact. Our team can work with schools, non-profit organizations, and youth programs to seamlessly integrate the GELP Impact Leaders Camp into your existing summer programming - bringing global leadership training to youth right in your region.
