Lead, Learn, and Grow – The LIT Experience at Camp Ohiyesa
The Leaders-In-Training (LIT) Program at YMCA Camp Ohiyesa is a two-week adventure for teens ages 14–15 who are ready to grow as leaders, take on responsibility, and make a difference in their camp community.
Located on the shores of beautiful Fish Lake, LITs will unplug from screens and plug into a powerful learning experience — one that blends hands-on leadership practice with classic camp fun.
What to Expect
- Under the guidance of experienced teen leadership staff, LITs will:
- Explore what it means to be a leader through group challenges and daily reflections
- Work directly with younger campers, learning how to support, lead, and role model
- Practice communication, problem-solving, and teamwork in real camp settings
- Participate in traditional camp activities while building strong peer connections
- Take part in a tent overnight on-site, plus an offsite day trip adventure
The LIT experience is all about learning by doing — preparing teens to lead at camp, in their schools, and in their communities.
