Leaders in Training Camp

The Leaders in Training (LIT) Camp is a 2-week camp designed for youth ages 12+ who are curious about leadership and ready to take their first steps toward becoming role models within the camp environment. This program can be taken multiple times, allowing participants to continue building skills and confidence each session. Through hands-on activities, guided leadership experiences, and teamwork challenges, LITs will explore what it takes to be a leader in a fun, supportive setting. Participants will have the opportunity to work with campers, assist members throughout the facility, and learn the basics of program planning and execution. By the end of the program, each participant will earn 10 hours of volunteer experience at Variety Village. Throughout the program, LITs will create a personal program booklet featuring their leadership worksheets and program ideas—a keepsake that reflects their growth and leadership journey. Campers will work towards earning their Emergency First Aid certification from the Lifesaving Society.
