LIT! Phase 1 | Weeks 1 & 3 - June 18-23 & July 2-7​

LIT! Phase 2 | Weeks 6-8 - July 23 - August 11

​

Do you dream of serving on the Caroline Furnace staff or becoming a more effective leader in your communities? Our LITs are challenged to grow in their faith and leadership, and are equipped with skills and tools to continue learning and growing after camp is over. LITs are chosen for their faith maturity, desire to become a better leader, and motivated personality.

​

Applicants must possess a genuine interest in faith and leadership, in the camping/youth development field and in leading younger campers, and must be willing to commit the required energy, enthusiasm, and cooperation in all aspects of the training and hands-on portions of the program. Applicants should be mindful of time management, good self-care, and serve as a positive role model to others.

 

During your LIT! training week (Part One), you will develop skills, awareness, and experience that will put you into action as a quality leader and team member. Throughout your training week, you will study and practice the art of leading others with the help of our Program Team. Reflect on your own experiences with children, learn how to facilitate growth (and FUN!) at Summer Camp, practice leading by example and listening for feeling, study leaders in the Bible (Surprise, one of them is Jesus!), discuss age group differences and considerations, learn how to lead Bible study and other activities, and get the chance to share the magic of camp with younger campers.

 

Following successful completion of your first week, you may choose a second week (Part Two) to return to camp and

co-lead a cabin under the leadership of one of our counselors. Come put your new skills and knowledge into practice!

​
