DAY CAMP LEADERS IN TRAINING
CAMP SHIOC, APPLETON YMCA
At Camp Shioc, our Leaders In Training (LIT) program focuses on developing leadership skills through training, discussion, observation and supervised child interaction. This is a program for teens 13-17 years old who are serious about learning to work with children and improving their leadership skills. All teens are required to complete an application and participate in an interview process to help develop job skills before they may be accepted into the program. Weekly fees cover field trips, transportation and supplies for the LIT. Participants are encouraged to attend every day of the session.
LIT Level 1 – Day Camp
This two-week required program consists of training sessions with a LIT Counselor, counselor-shadowing throughout the weeks and visits to other day camps. The level 1 sessions will teach LITs about role-modeling, LIT expectations and camp operations. Upon completion of Level 1, LITs may sign up for Level 2 programs for the remainder of the summer. All LIT participants must complete Level 1 if new to the program. Participants must attend every day of the session and a minimum of 5 teens are required to run the session.
Two sessions will be offered this summer:
June 17-28 and July 22-August 2 | Cost: $180
LIT Level 2 – Day Camp (prerequisite Level 1)
Teens must successfully complete Level 1 to participate in the Level 2 LIT programs. In these programs, LITs will focus on specific skills each week. Some examples include Coaching, Personal Growth, Developing Others and Conflict Management. Teens will assist counselors in leading children as well as helping around camp.
