If so, our Leaders In Training (LIT) Program is designed for you! This program will help you gain leadership experience and serve as a role model for younger campers while assisting counselors and staff with summer camp activities. LITs will grow in character, confidence, and leadership led by experienced Program Directors and Summer Staff members serving as mentors. By learning to lead campers in games, songs, and Bible Discovery, LITs get to learn about ministry and be a part of making camp fun!

LIT Training Event
All LITs must receive in-person training before serving at Gretna Glen. Training will prepare you with all of the knowledge and tools you need to know about being a leader at Gretna Glen. Through engaging activities and lessons, we will learn songs, games, and skits, along with important safety protocols and procedures for making camp a fun and safe place to be. Attendance at one of these three training options is mandatory to serve as an LIT, as it gives us an opportunity to get to know you and helps make your week as an LIT great! Training will run from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. A detailed schedule of training will be provided to you beforehand.
- Sunday, May 9 (same day as Open House)
