A great day to get an understanding of the LIT program, meet other LITs and summer counselors and get your LIT T-Shirt! Parents, if your camper is not able to make it to LIT training, they will be briefed on important information on the Monday of their first session in the summer.

Why Be An LIT? Teens need to know that they are capable of making a positive difference in their world and Camp Sonshine offers this great program for teens to not only learn valuable lessons on leadership, but to put those lessons into practice in a safe, fun environment. Many teens have used this type of leadership experience to put on applications to such organizations as the National Honor Society and various college & scholarship applications.

What You Can Expect From The Program: LITs get the opportunity to be a part of the camp program they love while learning and developing leadership skills as they are given hands-on experience in helping counselors with their group of campers and leading activities. LITs also have the opportunity to sign up for the LIT Overnighter Experience!

LIT Program Highlights (included in tuition)

• Practical Leadership Skills Training
• One-on-One Mentoring with Trusted Adult Role Models
• Volunteer Service Hours
• LIT Friday Night Late Stay Experience

LIT Application Process

1. Register – Teens can be registered for the LIT program by a parent utilizing our regular Online Registration process.

2. Supplemental Application (See Parent Resource Page) – In addition to the regular application, teens are asked to complete an LIT Supplemental Application. The application process is designed to help teens think about their current views and beliefs concerning leadership, what their goals will be in regards to being an LIT, develop realistic expectations for the program, and to gain valuable skills and experiences that will be beneficial to them in completing future job applications.
