Dear LIT Candidates:

Thank you for your interest in Camp iHope’s LIT program.  The LIT Program teaches life skills and leadership skills.  These skills include communication, teamwork, caring, responsibility, respect, handling conflict, and problem solving. These skills may be used in all aspects of life, including home, school, sports, youth groups, work, and in the community.  Issues specific to making a successful transition from camper to camp staff will be addressed as a CIT.  LIT's will be mentored by the LIT/CIT Counselors and the LIT/CIT Coordinator.  Participation in the LIT/CIT program does not guarantee future acceptance as a camp volunteer.

The following criteria must be met in order to be considered for an interview:
1.    Completion of application prior to the deadline
2.    Submit 1-2 paragraphs answering the question “Why I want to be an LIT?
