Leadership Programs (Grades 10-11)

The purpose of Camp Echo’s teen leadership programs is to provide leadership development to teens in a setting that promotes respect and caring for people. These programs provide specific opportunities for teens to discover their leadership style and practice sound judgment. In addition, all of our teen programs are designed to prepare the participant for future staffing opportunities at Echo.

New for Summer 2021: Participants in the LIT and CIT will spend the majority of their time at camp together.

Leader-In-Training (Grade 10)
This program is designed to teach participants the foundations of being a leader at Camp Echo. Living together in a village cabin, L.I.T.s share team-building activities that solidify the group and enhance their personal skills. They will work together to build communication skills as well as becoming more confident leaders. Problem-solving activities, service projects and group discussions guide the experience.

.

Counselors-In-Training (Grade 11)
The CIT program focuses on the transition from campers to potential staff members.  The participants live together in traditional cabins build leadership abilities, strengthen their understanding of and ability to take on responsibility, and gain skills to contribute to a high-functioning staff team. Participants and follow a dynamic curriculum designed to teach them about values, inclusion, relationships, communication, developing others, decision-making and emotional maturity through the lens of child development and behavior management.
