LIT and SIT 10

Leader in Training (Age 15)

The Leader In Training program is 3 weeks long and is offered twice during the summer. 15 LIT's are selected for each session. Over the course of the 3 weeks, LIT's will learn about the different streams of leadership development and experiential based learning. Communication skills, teaching and learning styles, tips and techniques for playing with children and managing behaviour are a few of the "soft skills" that will be learned through experiential exercises. LIT's will also receive outdoor skill instruction to improve their "hard skills".

Registration for the LIT program is done independently of the regular camp registration process. Interested campers must apply in writing with a resume and covering letter to the attention of the camp director. LIT's are accepted into the program based on their maturity, enthusiasm, leadership skills and their desire to play and work with children. Group interviews will be held at camp starting in early February, before camp registration opens. APPLICATION DEADLINE JANUARY 29, 2010
