Purpose
Participants in the Alpha and Omega Leadership Collaborative, who consist of 13-17 year olds, will receive the resources and opportunities necessary to develop a life of wisdom, health, faith, and friendship. The program was established by the Ray Bryan Award from the Rye Foundation.
What it is
Alpha’s will come and spend a week during summer camp learning about leadership. They will be given the opportunity to work alongside staff to develop new skill sets. This program will help the participants become ready to work as summer staff in the coming years! Must be between 13-17 years old to participate. Potential candidates should have a growing faith and will be taught leadership from a Christian perspective.

Cost
There is a cost with this program. It is $250 for the week, with scholarships available! This helps to pay the staff members assigned to this program as well as meals and housing. Payments are due in full by June 30th, 2025.
What your week will look like
Alpha Week (July 13-18) will be held during Dragonfly Day Camp! This week is an opportunity for our Alpha’s to put their leadership skills into practice! They will be helping with the operation of our day camp and going along with our staff to assist with activities. When the day campers leave for the evening, our Alpha’s will have the opportunity for devotions, fun games, and other activities! The speaker for our alphas will be Rudy Ramphal, our youth speaker from last year. This week will start on Sunday with check-in from 4:00pm-5:00pm and end on Friday with check-out from 4:15-5:15pm!
Keep in mind that Alpha’s are not the same as campers. They will be given more responsibility and assisting roles to help aid our program. They will still have plenty of fun times as well! This program is a stepping stone to becoming summer staff in the coming years!
