Second Year Leader in Training

The Ryerson Summer Day Camps second year Leaders In Training program is a four-week long experience for 15 & 17 year olds offered twice each summer. A full-time Second Year LIT Facilitator delivers an extensive counsellor and leadership development program to participants. Participants receive a comprehensive manual to aid in their learning over their month at Camp.

All second year LITs experience a full orientation and training schedule. The LIT schedule is designed to provide in-service training opportunities, as well as workshops that focus on group development, problem solving, communication, lesson planning, and more. This program encourages individual leadership developed through internships with camper groups, where participants are responsible for helping deliver programs and create a positive learning environment for campers. These internships allow participants to achieve 40+ community service hours.

The Second Year LIT program is designed to develop and improve teamwork and leadership skills through theory and practical sessions:

• Communication
• Goal Setting
• Decision Making
• Cooperative Learning
• Safety and Risk Management
• Resume Writing and Interview Skills
• Event Planning
• Group Dynamics
