About this event
Leadership Training Camp July 6th -July 17th (two weeks) Fees for Session 2: Tier A $1,065 Tier B $930 Tier C $810 LTC is a place where teens can develop their skills as naturalists, problem solvers, and community members, and returning leaders can strengthen the skills they’ve been working on. It is designed for individuals who may aspire to be a Counselor-in-Training or Junior Counselor at Hitchcock or other camps, seeking opportunities to develop leadership skills, or who simply want to learn new skills and have fun. This is done through our “spiral” system, with spirals representing your experience in LTC (spiral 1 for first-year campers, spiral 2 for second-year campers, etc.) and each spiral holding different expectations and skills. We’ll tackle challenges such as caving, field trips, hikes, and overnight camping. We’ll take time to learn how to support each other as a group, work with the younger campers to put what we learn into practice, and be campers ourselves: playing in the woods and learning about and exploring nature. We expect leaders to be excited to build communication skills like listening and considering the group’s needs and to be willing to challenge themselves by choice in a safe and supportive environment. Leadership Training Camp is jam-packed with outdoor adventures, group challenges, nature hikes, fun, and discussions on what makes good leaders. Please note that drop-off and pick-up times for LTC may change on some days depending on our schedule for that day.
