Leader in Training Ages 12+
The LIT program is designed for youth who are interested in working with children and who would like to get the experience working in a day camp. The LIT program challenges youth to develop personal leadership qualities through sport and games with the guidance from our experienced RMSC staff.
With sessions on communication, teamwork, professionalism and goal-setting, campers are encouraged to explore and develop their own strengths as well as identify areas in their lives to apply these skills. The LIT’s will participate in all of the daily FUN activities while learning skills in each specific sport.
The coaches will meet with the LIT participants at the end of each day for a wrap up session and to give feedback and answer any questions. At the end of the week, each LIT camper will receive a certificate stating that they completed the LIT program.
After the completion of the LIT program, youth are then eligible to apply for a Counselor in Training position with RMSC for the summer of 2022. This is a volunteer position. Not all candidates are guaranteed a position, however we prefer to hire within our LIT graduates.
