Cedar Ridge Camp’s Leader in Training (LIT) program is designed for youth 16 or 17 years of age. The program helps participants to develop the leadership skills that they need in order to make the transition from camper to staff member. The program aims to enhance the hard (physical) and soft (personal, social) skills needed in a camp setting while fostering the maturity necessary to prepare the participant for life’s challenges. Participants in our LIT program are able to experience the fun and excitement of summer camp while taking on added responsibility.

The role of an LIT at camp is to assist a counsellor with the management of a cabin group or to assist instructors with a particular activity. LITs will be asked to participate in both of these roles during their session at camp. LITs are expected to participate in daily leadership sessions, an LIT canoe trip and various work projects. They are also expected to work towards their Bronze Cross swim level.
