PAL LEADERSHIP TEAM (PLT) PROGRAM

The PAL Leadership Team (PLT) is a group of high school students who play an active role at camp. It serves as a training program within Armada PAL Camp, designed to build skills for working with children and collaborating with fellow camp staff.

PLT members gain hands-on experience planning and leading activities, while also participating in team building, community service, and situational training. The program helps develop confidence, leadership, and the ability to work effectively with people of all ages.

PLT's Impact at Camp

The PAL Leadership Team is often the first step toward becoming a junior or senior PAL counselor. Since counselors must be 18 or older, PLT offers high school students a meaningful way to get involved early and year round.
During camp week, PLT members typically begin by leading block classes and serving as Service Staff in the camp kitchen. As they grow in experience and leadership, most go on to become Counselors-in-Training (CITs) — continuing their journey toward becoming full camp counselors.

PLT's Impact in the Community

Outside of camp, PLT members stay involved through leadership training and community service. Most are former campers who continue giving back through projects like:

• Relay for Life – Raising funds to support cancer research and patient services.
• Project Care – Collecting food and essentials for Armada families in need during the holidays.
• ​4-Corners Collection – Fundraising to help cover PLT members’ camp costs and provide financial aid for other campers.
