Our CI T Prog ra m ju st got better !
Gain the skills to become the best camp counselor ever! Formerly our CIT Program, the goal of our LIT Program at Camp NAC is to provide participants with the tools they need to become a great leader. Each week, LITs will learn different leadership and life skills that will help them in the future. By spending a portion of their day assisting one of our counselors, they will develop leadership skills and act as a role model for younger campers. In the afternoons, LITs will participate in an instructional period where they will work on the weekly theme. LITs won’t miss out on any of the fun because they will still be playing games of their own, participating in team activities, and swimming in the outdoor pool complex! This program is ideal for teens who have a genuine interest in working with kids and learning how to be a role model in their community.
