Outdoor & Leadership Camps For Teens

Welcome to Empower Leadership Camps, in the breathtaking mountain resort of Whistler, British Columbia. Designed by the expert team at Combo Camps, our 10-day overnight camp is tailored for teens aged 13 to 17 and features experienced international coaches and business leaders.

Campers learn to lead and manage small groups, inspire others to reach their potential, set goals and communicate effectively, all while prioritizing safety and accountability. It is the summer camp experience of a lifetime, and the confidence they will use in their next chapter.
