20-Day Sessions

Leader-in-Training

Ages 15-16 | On-site:
Join us for a three-week leader training session designed for campers who aspire to be Counselors-In-Training the following summer, or who want to develop their leadership abilities. Through workshops and hands-on training, you will learn leadership skills, group management, how to facilitate adventure teambuilding, and much more. You will experience high ropes, the climbing tower, on-site mountain biking, cookouts, and trip planning the Adventure Camp way. Leaders-in-Training (LITs) will plan and lead their own three-day, two-night trip, including food/gear prep and route planning. Start the process of becoming a positive role model for younger campers by taking on leadership roles during all camp activities and special events. Your schedule includes time to practice your skills with campers under staff supervision, as well as time to relax with other LITs. In order to insure individual development, we accept only a limited number. Potential LITs must complete an application (available at bu.edu/outdoor/adventure), provide one reference, and come in for an interview. Applications are due by March 6, 2009. If accepted, LITs must then fill out a registration form and submit payment. LITs who successfully complete the program have the opportunity to apply for the Counselor-in-Training program for the summer of 2010. Questions? Please call 603-525-3311.
