Program Details
Leader in Training (LIT) is designed to build leadership skills, group skills, self-confidence, and character. LIT is a two-week program for campers aged 15-16 years old. The first week of camp is spent in traditional camp activities for half the day and leadership training for the other half. During the first week and a half the group (typically 10 to 12 campers) and their counselors will work on a service project for the betterment of camp. Campers will also learn a variety of outdoor skills, ranging from fire-building and outdoor cooking, to Leave No Trace camping ethics.
Successful completion of YMCA Camp Weaver’s LIT program or equivalent is preferred before admission to our Counselor in Training Program.
