Leadership Training in a Unique Setting

The Kaléo program is an eight-month leadership program of Camp Qwanoes and Briercrest College built for developing young Christian leaders. Students live in a camp setting and earn one year of college credit while being part of the life and ministry of Camp Qwanoes. During their year in the Kaléo Program, students immerse themselves in front-line ministry and West Coast adventure. 

The Kaléo Program is a fusion of fully-accredited academics, foundational leadership training, close-knit community, outdoor adventures, and ministry in camp, local churches, and beyond!

Kaléo means “to call”. In another translation “voice”. It’s impossible to sum up such an experience using so few words, but if there’s anything I’ve come to learn this year it’s that God’s voice comes to us through his people. God used the twenty people in my group especially to speak into me this year, shaping me every single day, and each one touched my life in a unique way. I am forever thankful.
