The second year Muggie/Leadership program is
designed primarily for campers who have completed
the first year muggie/leader program, and have
completed grade 10 in school. Second-year Muggie
leaders live in their own cabin together with two
experienced staff members. The second session (two
weeks) of camp is spent overseas on a service-learning
project. Second-year Muggie/Leaders continue to
share in the work of the community. They earn a
small stipend for their work over the course of the
summer and they enjoy a few adventures off camp in
exchange for their energy and commitment to camp
and its programs.
