2024 information coming soon.
Our Teen LIT (Leaders-in-Training) Camp is designed to teach and inspire students from rising 6th grade through rising 10th grade.
Teens learn leadership and job preparation skills, gain valuable camp counseling experience, and spend time with mentors who share the Y values of honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring.
Hands-on training experiences and professional development workshops provide the foundation of the program. The students spend their time learning about leadership in the morning, including practice in resume writing and interview skills. UVA professionals visit the program to share information about different career paths. Students practice their skills mentoring the campers in the afternoon. Students learn basic safety, group control, games, camp best practices and valuable employment skills.
Students will also enjoy swimming, weekly field trips, campfire s'mores, a counselor-vs.-camper sports tournament, and much more.
Space is limited. The student must attend every day, and can attend anywhere from 1 week to all 10 weeks of the summer.
