LEADERSHIP
IN TRAINING PROGRAM FOR SUMMER CAMP
This program is for young students who are highly motivated, ready to
work and play hard, and who demonstrate additional responsibilities in
accepting the challenges of leadership. The goal of the program
is to develop leadership skills that you can use throughout life, help
others and yourself identify and achieve
goals, and learn how to work with children at camp and in many other
settings. Being a LIT is a unique experience as young students
learn and grow as leaders while having fun.
Who can apply to be a Leader:
Students who have completed 8th or 9th grade who are interested in
learning leadership and camp counselor skills. Students who have
completed 10th grade who do not have the experience to be a junior
counselor may also be considered for the program.
What the program day is like:
LIT’s day will include leadership skill sessions and discussion
groups. They will learn about group leadership, program planning,
communication, working with children, and learn skills necessary to be
a positive leader and camp counselor.
Example of skills for leading
children includes:
• Communicating with children
• Listening and teaching positive behavior and values
• Handling undesired behavior and conflicts in a positive way
• Planning and leading games and activities, teaching skills in
various
aspects of camp
• Work with a team
• Learning to be a positive role model for others
• Creativity and problem solving
LIT’s will also spend time assisting activity specialists or camp
counselors. By shadowing and observing camp staff LIT’s
will get to know younger campers, what their needs are, and learn
techniques and practice their skills learned in the skill sessions and
discussion groups to lead a group of campers.
LIT’s will take part in their own camp recreational
activities. Scheduling will include a time for a ropes leadership
class, boating, swimming, and other camp activities.
CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
A certificate of completion will be awarded to those who fulfill the
requirements of the program as well as the opportunity to request
recommendations for future jobs and or school. Each level
requires at least 2 weeks of participation. After each level you
will receive an evaluation and a certificate of completion.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
1) LIT Essay
2) Letter of recommendations – must
be completed by a non-relative stating your appropriateness for working
with children, your maturity, and level of responsibility.
Possible individuals who may be suitable for writing such a letter are
mentioned above in the reference section.
3) Registration and application returned
with payment.
After the application and registration form has been processed and we
receive your child’s references a decision will be made and you
will be notified. An interview is conducted as needed. If your
child is accepted we will mail you a confirmation packet. There
are a limited number of spaces in each session in order to provide a
strong program. We use an application process to ensure the LIT
program is a good fit for both the student and the camp. Not all
who apply are accepted into the program. To register, a deposit of
$50 for each session, must accompany the application and registration
form. If your child is not accepted into the program your deposit
will be returned. Applicants must demonstrate a high level of maturity
and responsible behavior conducive to working as part of a group.
Applicants will be accepted based on their level of focus and
interest in working with children.
