Lead. Serve. Grow

AGES 13-15

The Leaders in Training program is your first step into summer staff life, gaining real leadership experience while making camp unforgettable for younger campers.

WHAT IS LIT?

More than a Camper. Not Quite Staff. Exactly Where You Need to Be

LITs serve as role models for younger campers, assist counselors and staff, and develop the character, confidence, and leadership skills that carry far beyond a week at camp.

You'll learn to lead games, songs, and Bible Discovery. You'll learn about ministry. And you'll be part of making camp the best week of someone else's summer.

Mentored by experienced Program Directors and Summer Staff throughout.
