From Camper to Leader

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.

Leadership Beyond the Cabin

The PAL Leadership Team (PLT) helps campers continue growing as leaders long after their camper years begin to wind down. Designed for high school students, PLT is often the first step toward becoming a Junior or Senior Counselor, giving members meaningful opportunities to lead both during camp week and throughout the year.

At camp, PLT members help lead classes, support daily camp operations, and serve as role models for younger campers. As they grow in experience and leadership, many continue on to become Counselors-in-Training (CITs) and eventually full camp counselors themselves.
​
Outside of camp, PLT members stay active through leadership development and community service projects that support both PAL Camp and the greater Armada community. From fundraising and service initiatives to helping families in need, PLT encourages members to lead with responsibility, teamwork, and heart — continuing the spirit of PAL far beyond one week of camp.
