L.I.T. (Leaders in Training)
Entering 9th Grade
A hybrid program that provides both a great travel camp experience and valuable hands-on leadership instruction.
L.I.T.s alternate their weeks of camp between being a staff-intern (specific group or specialty area) and as a travel camper – including one extended (four night/five day) trip per four-week session.
- Sample of day trips:
- The Beach
- A Broadway show
- Dave & Busters
- Dorney Park
- Paintball
- Paddleboaring
- Water and adventure parks
- Rollerskating
- During day-trip travel weeks, there is always one late night.
- Extended overnight trips: (five days/four nights); summer 2026 overnight trips include Cape Cod and Myrtle Beach!
- During staff internships, L.I.T.s learn how to work independently and as part of their leadership group and focus on topics including:
- Communication
- Trust
- Creative Thinking
- Working Collaboratively
- Time Management
- Organization Skills
- L.I.T.s also engage in leadership sessions
- L.I.T.s who successfully complete at least one 4-week session of the program are given priority to work at Camp Yachad the following summer as a Counselor In Training (C.I.T.)
All this PLUS
- Transportation, lunch (when on an overnight trip and on staff internship weeks) and snacks are all included for L.I.T.s!
- L.I.T. campers start their day at 9:00 a.m. and are typically back for 4:00 p.m. dismissal.
