Leader in Training (LIT)
The Leader in Training (LIT) program is designed for teens who want to enhance their skills in leadership. Leadership involves thinking creatively and critically, making difficult decisions, communicating ideas clearly, and being able to work with others around them. Throughout the summer, each week of camp will highlight a leadership area whether it is teamwork, decision making, communication and the LIT/CIT Director will provide lessons each week. Additionally, the LITs will also have time to develop relationships with campers and get hands-on experience. This program is for teens entering 7th and 8th grade that want to have a fun summer developing their leadership skills, creating self-confidence and making new friends.
To be a LIT:
•    Must be entering grades 7th or 8th

Counselor-in-Training Program (CIT)
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program is designed for teens who want to further their leadership skills and/or prepare to become a counselor at J-Camp in future years. Just like our LIT program, CITs will also have time in a classroom setting where they develop and hone in on their leadership skills, ranging from critical thinking to organization and problem solving. The CITs will be assigned a group to work with for the week and will be required to run at least 1 or 2 activities with that group. The activities can range from arts and crafts to sports and games. This volunteer position is for teens entering 9th & 10th grade who want to further their leadership skills and who want to learn more about how to be a counselor in the future!
