Future Builders
Leadership, Diversity Appreciation, Environmental Awareness & Positive Community Change!
Since its inception 11 years ago, BRIDGES Future Builders has provided experiential, hands-on learning for a diverse group of middle-school students to become leaders in building a better future for themselves and their community. Future Builders serves all middle school students - sixth, seventh and eighth graders.
Future Builders is a year-round program consisting of service-leadership camps during fall, winter, spring and summer breaks and monthly outdoor adventure/leadership development activities. Activities take place at the BRIDGES Center and at a variety of area outdoors destinations. What sort of activities? Glad you asked.

How to participate
You can become a Future Builder by
registering online. Once the application is submitted and the $15 annual registration fee paid, a student becomes a Future Builder until the start of ninth grade. Participants must register and pay for each individual camp or outing, or you can get a discount by paying for the full year in advance. Payment is based on a sliding scale. Get more information on payments/fees and pay online
here.
Future Builders meet once a month, and the length varies from day-long
excursions to 2-week leadership camps (depending on the month and
season).
Don't Forget These 2 Simple Steps:
1. Complete the
online registration form.
2.
Pay for Future Builder events (such as summer camp, fall break camp, monthly activities).
It is preferable for each school to have a Future Builders Sponsor to ensure that youth leaders from each school aren't missing out on this opportunity. Each school should send its sponsor’s name and contact information to
Mollie Campbell at the start of each new school year.
