Overview
Canterbury Hills Camp is a place of joy, creativity, adventure, and belonging. Our leaders model and create a culture where people are free to be themselves and accomplish more than they thought possible. Campers can take on new challenges because they have leaders who care for them and believe in them. With leaders who give their best in cabins, forests, fields, pools, creeks, and dining halls, campers thrive.

The Canterbury Hills Camp LIT program is an exciting, fun and rewarding way to develop leadership potential. The program includes daily learning sessions that include topics such as: teamwork, facilitation, behaviour responsiveness, personal care, mental health, compassionate care, professionalism, communication, spirituality, wilderness skills, and problem solving. Learning continues throughout the day as LITs deploy their gifts, skills and enthusiasm through a wide variety of camp responsibilities such as: helping with site/program duties, supporting a staff team, assisting with cabin needs or practicing facilitating activities with campers. LITs will gain valuable leadership qualities that can be used in a variety of contexts, including school, church, future workplaces, and their broader community!
