Leaders In Training Program
The Leaders in Training program is an engaging program designed for participants to
acquire camp-related skills such as canoeing, archery and large group leadership while
learning how to work as part of a team. In addition to learning about the YMCA's core values
(honesty, caring, respect, & responsibility), participants will also develop skills in:
• Planning and Delivering a “new” group game
• Special Needs Integration
• Observing and Assisting campers in various age groups
• Debriefing about experiences
• Job search skills
• Asset building
• Group planning a Theme Day Activity
• Teambuilding and Communication
• Conflict Resolution
L.I.T is a co-ed program for youth between the ages of 13 and 15 years. It is designed to challenge and facilitate the personal development of young people who want to learn about leadership and train them to serve as leaders at camp and in their home, school, and communities. The first two days of the program - the day camp component - are a time of learning and development. You’ll be given many hands-on opportunities to develop your skills and leadership abilities. In the second half of the week - the overnight component - you will put what you have learned into action as you join our staff teams in leading our campers. If you think you’re ready for the hard work, challenge, and fun of serving as a leader at YMCA Adventure Camp, then this is the program for you!
