Leader-In-Training
5-Day Camp | Ages 12 –14
Limited Spots Available!
The Leader-in-Training (LIT) program is a 5-day camp designed for campers aged 12 to 14, to provide opportunities to develop confidence and skills in leadership, team-building, conflict resolution and goal setting while also participating in recreational camp activities.
Our LIT counsellor and camp leadership will work closely with our LITs to help develop their individual leadership styles and build confidence through hands-on group activities and continual constructive feedback. The program provides the foundation for LITs to learn about planning and organizing activities, working effectively with others as both a leader and team member, building a resumé and preparing for an interview, and ultimately prepare youth for future volunteer or job opportunities.
LITs will have the opportunity to interact with campers, participate in camp activities during the week, and ultimately assist in leading our camper programming on Friday afternoon.
