YMCA Christian Leadership Conference

April 6-7, 2019 at YMCA Camp Marston

For more than 40 years YMCAs across the nation have hosted Christian Leadership Conferences. Beautiful Camp Marston has been one of these host sites for more than 20 years.

During this weekend training event, workshops focus on a variety of leadership subjects to add to the spirit, mind and body of each participant. We project a Christian atmosphere without preaching a particular doctrine.

Expect a true camp and leadership experience, where you will have the opportunity to self-select into workshops and enjoy what camp has to offer.

Be inspired by other YMCA and community leaders!
