Leader 1 - (SFA CEP-C Certification)

Leader 1: Leadership in Training - Empower Your Future 

Ready to take the lead? Our one-week Leader in Training (LIT) camp is designed for motivated teens aged 14–16 who are eager to develop practical skills, increase their confidence, and prepare for future leadership opportunities both at camp and beyond. 

Throughout the week, participants will engage in dynamic, hands-on sessions that focus on building essential hard skills. Campers will earn their Standard First Aid and CPR-C certification (valid for 3 years), equipping them with life-saving knowledge and the confidence to act in emergency situations, and a requisite for many volunteer and paid positions. They’ll also learn how to present themselves professionally by practicing interview techniques, gaining valuable insight into communication, body language, and self-presentation. 

In addition, campers will explore the High Five® Principles of Healthy Child Development and the Quest program, two nationally recognized frameworks that promote positive experiences in youth programming. These tools help future leaders understand how to create safe, inclusive, and engaging environments for children, skills that are highly transferable to volunteer roles, part-time jobs, and school leadership positions. 

By the end of the week, participants will walk away with a Standard First Aid certification, new friendships, and a toolkit of leadership strategies they can apply in school, work, and community settings. It’s a high-impact experience that builds confidence, responsibility, and a strong foundation for future success.
