Leader in Training (LIT)

Our unique Leader-in-Training (LIT) Program at Manitou is designed to foster the development of leadership skills and ready our oldest campers to apply for our CIT Program the following year.

As a Leader-in-Training (LIT) at Manitou you will have the opportunity to experience:

  • An incredible white water rafting adventure on the Ottawa river
  • Direct involvement in our Manitou Cares programs, including working with the C.N.I.B. Lake Joseph Centre to assist campers who are blind or visually impaired
  • Community service hours (up to 40) as a result participating in our Manitou Cares and Special L.I.T.-ONLY camper mentorship programs
  • A rewarding day of play, one-on-one counselling and mentoring with our one day ‘Rookie” campers
  • Buddy up with our younger campers! A unique chance to provide guidance and support through Mantuniitou’s peer group mentorship program
  • Involvement in camp-wide programs, unit programs and our end-of-session banquets
