Leader in Training Learn to Lead The City of Napa Parks & Recreation Services Department is pleased to announce the 2017 Summer Leader In Training Program (LIT). We are seeking individuals 13-15 who are interested in developing leadership skills while learning what it takes to be a great leader and camp counselor. This Leader In Training (LIT) program was designed to help middle school and high school students develop valuable leadership skills while assisting summer camp staff with the daily operations at camp. This hands-on leadership training program is perfect for campers interested in learning more about working with youth, recreation, and camp programs. Attendees will build self-esteem, independence, and leadership skills while they assist Summer Day Camp staff as they provide recreation programs for younger campers (ages 5-12). During your summer as a LIT, you will learn how to lead activities, help make campers feel welcome, and assist summer camp staff with special projects. We ask that LIT’s commit to a minimum of two weeks. There is a required training prior to the start of camp, in addition to ongoing weekly leadership trainings and check-ins with our Leadership Team. There will be a mandatory LIT orientation meeting on Friday, June 2, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. at our main parks & recreation office. LIT’s will be placed at either Camp Napa or Great Outdoors. Specific LIT schedules will be arranged with the recreation coordinator in advance of the start of camp. To apply for this opportunity, please contact Michelle Lee at 707-257-9517 or [email protected]. Space is limited in this program and an interview is required.
