Step Into Leadership
The Leaders in Training (LIT) program is a multi-week experience for high school students eager to grow as leaders, mentors, and role models. Whether you're exploring a future on camp staff or simply want to challenge yourself in a supportive, faith-filled environment, LIT is where your leadership journey begins.
Week 1:
Training & Community
During your first week at camp, you’ll join other LIT participants in an intensive training experience led by our experienced summer staff. Together, you’ll:
- Develop skills in youth ministry and mentoring
- Learn the essentials of group leadership and outdoor living
- Practice teamwork, communication, and problem-solving
- Build lasting friendships and a strong sense of community
- Canoeing
Please note: Campers will go home Friday evening and return to camp on Sunday to begin Week 2.
Week 2:
Shadowing & Mentorship
In the second week, you’ll pair with various summer counselors and put your skills into action:
- Shadow a staff member throughout the day
- Help lead games, worship, and cabin life
- Support and mentor younger campers
- Get a behind-the-scenes look at how camp runs smoothly
- High Ropes at Eagle Bluff (be sure to sign the waver in the left column)
Optional Additional Weeks
Love the experience? LIT participants are invited to return for additional weeks later in the summer to co-lead a cabin alongside an experienced staff member. It’s a powerful way to grow your confidence, deepen your impact, and prepare for future staff roles.
