Camp Backcountry Leader-in-Training program in Highlands Ranch.
The Leader in Training (LIT) Program is a mentorship program for high school students (ages 14-17) that focuses on leadership development and prepares them for future jobs, whether as a counselor at Camp Backcountry or elsewhere.
This program gives students training, mentorship, and real-life experiences to sharpen their organization, social, and responsibility skills, all while earning volunteer service hours.
LITs will be paired with a counselor-mentor on Monday mornings, who they will learn from throughout the week. LITs will spend the week assisting with, and going on adventures with, this one camp group. Throughout the week, LITs will participate in special activities, leadership training, and exclusive programming designed specifically for the teens.
