Someday, when I am a counselor I will share everything I learn with campers and help them the same way so many people have helped me.

Leadership Training Program
Group A: Sun, June 22nd - Thurs, July 17th
Group B: Sun, July 20th - Thurs, Aug 14th
Girls, Aged 16 only

Formerly known as the C.I.T Program, the Leadership Training Program is aimed at young women who demonstrate a belief in the mission of diabetes camping, a desire to work with children, and who are of sound character. The new Leadership Training Program encompasses more than just training young women to become camp counselors. These Leaders-In-Training (LIT) will be given the opportunity to provide leadership in all aspects of their lives. They will be provided with the knowledge to return to their home communities where they will use their leadership skills in school, recreation teams, amongst their family and friends, and much more!

Candidates for the program are young women with diabetes, who are sixteen years of age or older at the start of the 2008 summer season. Candidates must have an interest in working with children, like the outdoors, and be positive role models with regards to their diabetes and life in general. There are 8-10 participants in each of two sessions. LITs are selected based on qualifications and interest in becoming future camp staff and leaders in their community.

 

Junior Counselor Program
Thursday, June 12th - Friday, August 15th
Co-ed: Ages 17+

Junior Counselors (JC's) are individuals who demonstrate a love for working with young people, diabetes camping, and play. They are salaried summer staff members-in-training, working alongside Counselors, living in cabins, and leading/assisting camp activities, under the direction of the JC Leader. This program provides opportunities for development in leadership, counseling style, and proficiency.
