Leadership Programs
Description
The Leader-In-Training (LIT) program is a two-week leadership experience that provides opportunities for participants to focus on the development of essential leadership skills such as communication, teamwork, giving and receiving feedback, and public speaking.
Through peer-to-peer feedback, game-based skill development, and opportunities to lead younger camper groups, LITs become more well-rounded leaders and excellent candidates for future Counsellors-in-Training (CITs). With the help of their facilitators, LITs apply their skills in volunteer roles at camp, earning 25-35 volunteer hours across the two weeks.
The LIT program is designed to prepare youth to thrive in leadership roles in the classroom, on a team, and in our Counsellor-in-Training (CIT) program. While the LIT program provides an excellent foundation for the Counsellor-in-Training program, it is not required to have completed the LIT program before enrolling in CIT.
Daily Schedule
The typical day for this camp runs from 8:30am - 4:30pm. CITs can expect to take part in engaging workshops, sporting games, and activity planning.
The first week of each session comprises workshops & seminars focused on intrapersonal development, while the second week is designated towards leadership skill applications through the facilitation of Camp programs for a younger camper group.

Description
The Counsellor-In-Training (CIT) program is a two-week leadership training experience that provides opportunities for participants to focus on cooperative learning, leadership, and advanced development of coaching and instruction skills.
Through peer-to-peer feedback, game-based skill development, and opportunities to lead younger camper groups, CITs become more well-rounded leaders and excellent candidates for future Camp Counsellor roles.
With the help of their facilitators, CITs apply their skills in volunteer roles at camp, earning 25-35 volunteer hours across the two weeks.
In an effort to ensure they are qualified to embrace the role of Counsellor, all CITs receive a 50% discount on courses in Standard First Aid offered by Toronto Metropolitan University Aquatics.
While the CIT program is designed to build on concepts in the Leader-in-Training (LIT) program, participants are not required to have completed the LIT program before enrolling.
