Participating in  the Quests summer camp leader-in-training (LIT) program is a rewarding and transformative experience. Our program is designed to prepare young individuals to take on leadership roles within the context of a Christian camp setting. It is geared for youth ages 15++ and is a great stepping stone to develop youth who may eventually be cabin leaders.
You can sign up for 1-3 weeks in a summer. Space is limited.
Here is what you can look forward to experiencing:

Note: This program is designed to increase the employability of the participants, as well as prepare them to be leaders who can recognize the worth and potential that God has created in the campers we serve. As such, LIT is not a program interested teens register for, but rather one they apply into. Upon review of a successful application, the applicants will receive an acceptance letter
