At TCAG, we take pride in our commitment to excellence when it comes to our staff selection process. Our Leaders in Training counselors are no exception. We invest months of effort in screening, interviews, and careful hiring practices to ensure that only the most qualified candidates join our team. 

Our LIT counselors are not only experienced educators but also seasoned camp counselors who possess a wealth of personal leadership experience. They have demonstrated their abilities to lead and inspire others, making them exceptional mentors for youth leadership candidates. The primary focus of our LIT counselors is to provide our participants with invaluable opportunities for growth. They recognize and nurture the natural leadership abilities of our youth, encouraging them to reach their full potential. Our LIT counselors instill the understanding of both the benefits and responsibilties that come with being a leader, using mentorship and guidance. 

Through a combination of hands-on activities, workshops, and mentorship, our LIT counselors guide participants through a transformative experience. They facilitate personal growth, foster teamwork, and collaboration, and provide a safe and supportive environment for participants to explore and expand their leadership potential.

The ultimate goal of our LIT program extends far beyond the camp sessions. We strive to equip participants with life and leadership skills that will serve them well beyond their time in the program. Additionally, our LIT program acts as a potential employment pipeline, paving the way for participants to secure positions in our summer camp and recreation programs. We are proud to offer the LIT program at TCAG, providing a unique pathway for young folks to develop into confident and capable leaders. Whether aspirations lie in recreation, education, or other fields, our LIT program equips them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. 

We can’t wait to work with you on this empowering journey!
