Leadership 2: Island LIT - YMCA Camp Queen Elizabeth

The Island LIT program is one of two options for 16 year olds in our CQE leadership training program. The LIT program provides practical experience working with youth through cabin and program placements and focuses on furthering leadership, interpersonal, program facilitation and planning skills.  

Participants spend two weeks in a program placement, where they help teach morning activities at camp, and spend their afternoons and evenings with the other LITs in sessions to develop their programming, interpersonal and leadership skills.  As outtripping is an important part of the CQE experience, the LITs will take part in a two-night canoe trip as a group. They will also participate in a two-week cabin placement as a “Cabin LIT”, where each LIT is paired with a cabin group for the session. They will participate in all cabin programs, go on a trip with them, and be given the opportunity to help lead several programs, all while under the guidance of experienced CQE Staff.
