Camp Mendocino Leaders in Training (LIT) program is a job readiness and character development program for teens age 15-17. The LITs serve as role models, support staff members at Camp, generate enthusiasm, and walk away with so many skills. The LIT program is a program and not a job (although there is a small stipend attached to it based on teen performance).
In the LIT program, teens will run the dining hall, shadow adult staff members, and participate in workshops including: communication, conflict resolution, money management, resume writing, interviewing, and youth development. Attending Camp Mendocino previously is not a requirement of the program - every year we have teens who are brand new to Camp who fit right in to the Camp family. Having been a part of Camp as either a camper or LIT does hold weight as we look at applicants, but simply “loving” Camp is not enough to be accepted into the program. We are looking for teens who will contribute to our Camp community. Our best LITs are team oriented, hard working, enthusiastic, motivated, and goal oriented. Many of our best Camp staff were LITs when they were teens.
*All teens admitted into the program will be required to attend an in person orientation in San Francisco. The dates are still being decided but this will happen some time in the middle of May.
