This coming June, Rotary’s Camp Neidig will proudly celebrate its 75th year of youth leadership development with a four-day weekend program, June 14-17 at Camp Manatawny, located between Douglassville and Boyertown in Berks County. We encourage your Club to sponsor students who have exhibited leadership skills and potential in their schools and communities. The students must be current high school juniors who will be entering senior year this fall.
Camp Neidig employs problem-solving activities, workshops, and team building exercises to further develop the leadership abilities of the campers. Camp Neidig also boasts an impressive lineup of guest speakers each year. These speakers are professionals who impart advice and experiences around leadership and encourage the campers to explore what it means to be an effective and impactful leader.
The Camp Neidig staff volunteers who mentor the campers over the course of the program come from diverse professional backgrounds, including K-16 education, engineering, information technology, medicine, consulting, and law enforcement. The staff always includes numerous proud Camp Neidig alumni.
On the Camp Neidig Club registration form Club Registration 2024 we ask that you indicate how many students you anticipate sponsoring for the 2024 camp experience. New this year, our committee is willing to assist you in securing student nominations from the high school(s) in your Club’s area. If you are interested in assistance, you can indicate this on the Club registration form.
There will be two virtual Camp Neidig informational sessions this year. The first one will be held during the District President’s meeting on February 5, and the second one is designed specifically for your club’s Camp Neidig Chairperson on February 12. Once your club is registered for camp, we will send an invitation directly to your club’s Neidig chairperson to attend the February 12 session.
The entire Camp Neidig experience is designed to hone students’ leadership skills and to encourage them to take what they learned and apply those skills to their school and community activities in the future. The program is offered at no cost to the students or their families, thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Rotary Clubs of District 7430.
