Leaders In Training Camp
Leaders In Training (LIT) Camp focuses on building a sense of social responsibility in older youth through volunteer work, building relationships with each other, and the community. This is done by providing guided leadership opportunities. Each week may include a field trip or community service project off campus. LIT camper parents who notify camp staff they are attending pre- or post-camp may assist with conducting activities with younger campers (after proper training). There are no additional fees for LIT campers to attend pre or post camp, but camp staff must be notified in advance that they are attending.
