Session 10

All-Camp Theme: Spirit Week

Themed dress up days, creative skits, and one last hoorah! Spirit Week is how we end camp on a high note. This week emphasizes the friendships we’ve made, the songs we’ve learned, and all the fun we have had at camp this summer.

Leaders-in-Training (LIT) Program
Ages 12 - 14

The Leader-in-Training program allows older campers to build leadership skills and assume some counselor responsibilities while still participating in their favorite camp activities. Camp LITs will get the chance to choose specialized tracks that expose them to their favorite aspect of summer. LIT curriculum includes leadership skills, social and emotional learning, the development of the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. The LIT program follows the same schedule and themes as the general sessions but offering varies per session at each location.
