The L.I.T. program is designed to teach our oldest campers about the importance of responsibility, empathy, and working with others while having fun at camp! Led by an L.I.T. Counselor, L.I.T. activities are similar to regular camp activities, but tailored to meet the needs of our oldest campers. Participants have two periods of swimming each day, and will select a different specialty camp each week. L.I.T.s also attend two field trips; one with the L.I.T. group and one with the whole camp. Past field trips have included Quassy Amusement Park and Brownstone Park.
Led by an L.I.T. Counselor, first-year L.I.T.s blend regular camp activities and some L.I.T.-focused activities to slowly introduce more freedom and group choice. First-year participants complete a Red Cross Babysitting Certification course, instructing them how to properly and safely care for children. They also spend time shadowing our camp specialists learning what makes a true leader. The L.I.T. program is a great way for older children to get out and enjoy the summer, while learning valuable life lessons and making quality friendships.
Designed specifically for L.I.T.s who have attended the program before. Led by an L.I.T. Counselor, this program provides returning participants with greater independence and responsibility. The group blends camp/community enrichment projects with fun camp activities. L.I.T.s also spend time shadowing camper groups and counselors, as they further develop their leadership skills. Beyond the regular camp activities, L.I.T.s spend time planning and implementing camps/community enrichment projects focused on reinforcing one of the Y’s areas of focus: social responsibility.
New this summer, all L.I.T.s have the opportunity to train in a Junior Lifeguarding course at no additional cost!
