Leader-In-Training sessions provide our oldest campers (youth entering grades 7-9) a way to transition from camper to counselor. LITs gain valuable leadership skills and take on more responsibility at camp. LIT sessions are for 2 weeks, and camp hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more Leader-In-Training opportunities, please visit our LIT page here.
