Leadership In Training (LIT)

(Please note: For the LIT Program applications will be reviewed and then applicants will be informed if they have been successful.)

The L.I.T. Program at Kawkawa is an exciting and intense two-week program centered upon the spiritual, character, and moral development of the individual. The first week will include learning about what makes and defines a leader; how to create and lead a devotional, personal development skills, how to effectively lead games and activities and several other seminars crucial to being a well-trained leader. The second week will be centered around putting into practice many of the tools learned in the first week. L.I.T. students will shadow a lead counselor for the week and assist in the daily program of Kawkawa. Between all the training, there will be scheduled times for waterfront activities, skills training (archery/riflery), group development activities and campfires. Limited to 12 students.

This past summer I was blessed enough to be able to do the LIT training program.  I saw the opportunity to make a positive impact on others I thought it would be a great experience that would also push me out of my comfort zone, which it did in the best way possible. Over the summer I learned how to be a better leader and how to spread the gospel to future generations.  Kawkawa camp is where I first learned about Christianity and I have been blessed to do all of the stages of camp (camper, work crew, and LIT) I’m hoping to return as a staff member this upcoming summer as I continue to learn and grow in my faith each and every year. To those who are thinking about attending camp or even volunteering for a week through Work crew, I would say, it’s an amazing experience where you are surrounded by people who care and love for you and you are going to make friends who impact you for the rest of your life, so take the leap and see how you grow over just one summer.
