Day Camp Leaders

Day Camp Leaders in Training (LIT)

At Camp Shioc, our Leaders In Training (LIT) program will focus on developing leadership skills through training,  discussion, observation and supervised child interaction. This is a program for teens ages 13-17 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. This new program replaces the Junior Counselor program from previous summers.

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 14-25 and July 19-30


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 be focusing on specific skills each week. Some examples include coaching, personal growth, developing others and conflict management. Teens will be assisting counselors in leading children as well as helping around camp. Participants are encouraged to attend every day of the session.

These programs are offered weekly: June 28-August 20 & August 23-26
