LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIT AND CIT?

LIT (Leader in Training) is for 15-16 year olds that are interested in becoming CITs or just want to grow their leadership capabilities.
CIT (Counselor in Training) is for 16-17 year olds that might be interested in becoming a counselor.

ARE LITS & CITS ALLOWED TO HAVE CELL PHONES AT CAMP?

We believe there are numerous benefits to having campers unplug for the week and therefore have a no phone policy at camp. We have found that campers do their best when they are fully invested in camp and have the opportunity to experience camp independently. Some of the benefits of unplugging that we have seen as summer camp professionals is a willingness to engage with peers, try new things, and step outside their comfort zones in many ways.

CAN I STILL APPLY FOR THE LIT OR CIT PROGRAMS IF I WAS NEVER A CAMPER?

Yes, the programs are open to anyone interested.

IS FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE FOR LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS?

Yes, during the registration process, you can request a campership application. This application will be sent out once the deposit is received. 

DO LEADERSHIP PARTICIPANTS STAY FOR THE ENTIRE 2 WEEKS?

No, campers go home in-between their 2-week session. Please see pick up and drop off times for more specific information.

CAN I BE AN LIT IF I DON'T WANT TO BE A COUNSELOR?

Yes. This program teaches a wide variety of leadership skills, both camp specific and relative to the world outside of camp, so it is great for both campers that are interested in being CITs and those that just want to grow their leadership capabilities.
