Teens will explore their talents as individuals and in groups while continuing to learn and grow.
Whether your camper has been coming to YMCA Camp Weaver for years, or is brand new to our camp, a teen leadership program at Camp Weaver provides an excellent opportunity for teens to develop leadership and outdoor living skills. Our leadership programs provide a safe place to work on real-life skills such as independence, time management, and group work.

Program Details
The Day Camp Leader in Training (DC LIT) program prepares 14–15-year-old campers for our Counselor-in-Training program. Over 4 weeks, campers participate in regular camp activities while getting behind-the-scenes experience through service projects and shadowing senior staff. Highlights include 3 field trips for adventure, teambuilding, and community service.
Our small cohorts of 6-8 campers work closely with staff to develop essential skills like active listening, servant leadership, and communication. Campers earn a “passport” to track their progress. We’d love to welcome your young leader back to Weaver for another summer of growth and memories.
Successful completion of YMCA Camp Weaver’s Day Camp Leader in Training (DC LIT) program or equivalent is preferred before admission to our Counselor in Training Program.
