Leaders-In-Training Camp

In this one week leaders program, teens will learn leadership skills that can be used in all parts of life, including home, school, sports, youth groups, and in the community. Through challenging activities, workshop, and discussions, the leadership skills learned will include communication; teamwork; setting goals and making plans to achieve them; making decisions; developing increased confidence, caring, responsibility, honesty, and respect. LIT participants will have the opportunity to observe camp counselors as they exhibit many of these skills, and visit area business’ to learn more leadership skills. LIT will conduct a community learn and serve group project at the end of the camp. The instructor is Tywon Gouard, YMCA Youth Director. Other area leaders will be assisting in this camp.

Our four core values are Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. These core values provide the framework for our program activities as we strive to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
