Develop Leadership Skills at Overnight Teen Camps
We don’t just provide an incredibly fun experience for our campers – two of our overnight teen camps specifically work on developing the leadership skills that our campers will utilize throughout their life.
LIT’s – Leaders in Training
- Ages: 15 to 17 Grades: 10 to 12
- During our LIT camp program, teenagers learn what great leaders do and say through study and example.
- Our Leadership Counselors acts as the mentors and role models for all our LIT participants throughout the program.
- Our LIT’s are housed together as their own community, separate from the rest of the overnight youth campers.
- Campers are trained through leadership development workshops, practice exercises, and hands-on activities.
- Campers are trained through leadership development workshops, practice exercises, and hands-on activities.
- But it wouldn’t be camp if we didn’t make time for fun activities like swimming and racing up the climbing tower!
- Every evening our LIT’s come together to debrief and discuss what they have experienced and learned that day.
- Once they graduate from the Leaders in Training program, our participants depart with new skills and friends that last a lifetime! We also encourage successful graduates to apply for the next year’s Camp Assistant program if they’re interested.
