Before (or instead of) becoming an ASIT, campers have the opportunity to develop their leadership and teamwork skills by taking our LIT Course (or the ASIT for a Day class). These activities are designed to develop useful skills for the future such as communication, problem solving, event planning, and more. These are only available for Senior campers but are guaranteed for any camper interested in joining.
Summer camp has an amazing ability to transform kids into their best selves by allowing them to be free of normal day-to-day problems and incorporate fun into every activity. We teach our staff how to create these amazing environments and we want to teach our campers these skills as well! Whether it is for prepping them to be counselors themselves, or just to teach them how to be young professionals as they grow up and enter the real world, we want our campers to feel prepared to face the world - and still have fun while doing it. This course is offered to seniors only.
This course is generally taught by ASIT Leaders, as they are most accustomed to looking for ASIT-like traits and are trained on many team building activities that they use with the ASITs.
Team Building
Team Building
To start the week, the campers learn how to work together effectively to create a strong foundation for them to collaborate later in the week.
Activity Leading
Activity Leading
LITs will use a course period to market and prepare their camp wide activity and then lead it themselves. The activity may be a class, freetime activity, evening activity, early bird, or night owl.
Event Planning
Event Planning
Campers learn how to make activities practical yet exciting to join. They will brainstorm a camp-wide event and a separate service project proposal that assists some form of camp.
Evaluation & Feedback
Evaluation & Feedback
By the end of the week, the LITs will receive constructive feedback on their performance in the course and how to improve going forward. We feel it is highly important that they learn how to not only receive feedback but observe role models on how to give feedback as well.
Camp Project Proposal
Camp Project Proposal
A valuable skill we believe all campers should learn is how to help others altruistically. In the LIT Course, this will occur through a project proposal for a way to improve an aspect of camp. Supplies and project idea depending, they may even be able to complete by the end of the week.
