Thank you for being a recommendation for a potential Leadership Development Program participant. Below please find a description of each program we offer.

As a VIP, campers take the first step in becoming a Y Camp Leader. This two-week program teaches campers about service to others. Your primary function will be working in Cownie Dining Hall; doing dishes and cleaning the dining hall will fill much of the day. As time allows VIP's may help with the maintenance department as well.  
LA is a step between VIP and LIT.  An LA will have specific times during the day set aside for leadership training, and to participate in “Tracks” to receive training in specific camp areas (i.e. archery, ranch, climbing tower, building and grounds, and nature). LA’s will choose their Track for the week during which they practice fundamentals of programming specific areas.  This is great for campers wanting to learn more about becoming a staff but not eligible for the LIT Program.

LIT- a three-week training is an extensive program aimed at teaching teens how to become exceptional Y Camp Leaders. Skill development in leadership, safety, relationship building, character development and program facilitation are all part of their experience. Through observation, discussion and hands-on experience, LIT's expand their knowledge of great Y Camp leadership. As part of the program, LIT's take a Lifeguard course that, upon successful completion, will deem them certified lifeguards. If you want to become a Y Camp Leader or work with children this program is for you.
