412 Leadership Development 

1 Timothy 4:12 – “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and purity.”

B412 & G412 are one-week leadership experiences for teens (ages 13–15) who want to grow in their faith, build confidence, and have a ton of fun along the way. These Bible-based programs help students step up as leaders, get closer to Jesus, and learn how to guide others—at JOY and wherever God leads them next. Teens are mentored by caring, Christ-centered leaders who walk alongside them throughout the week, offering support, encouragement, and real-life wisdom. They’ll also get to live out their faith in action—putting what they learn into practice during an awesome week of Adventure Camp, filled with hands-on experiences, new friendships, and unforgettable moments.
