Leaders in Training (LIT)
DISCIPLESHIP COMMUNITY SERVICE
LITs say it best!
A YEAR LONG JOURNEY
LITs volunteer and experience the joys of Camp for 4 weeks over the summer (Sunday – Friday). During this time they learn how to connect with God through prayer and Bible reading. LITs gain skills and learn how to serve others through food service, housekeeping, groundskeeping, camp programming, and more!
One thing that makes our program unique is that it is not only a summer commitment. Our goal is to encourage LITs in Christ throughout the year – empowering them to be a light for Christ in their homes and communities!
As a part of the program, LITs are invited to:
– serve at and participate in Teen Camp
– attend 3 LIT Retreats
– serve at Fal & Winter Camp
– engage in regular check-ins hosted by camp staff, through our Camp LIT group chat
