• This program is organized into two-week sessions, where our young leaders will enjoy age-appropriate camp activities (arts and crafts, drama, sports, swimming, etc.) and learn the necessary tools to become great leaders. 
• They will receive regular feedback from their supervisor that they will use to develop their leadership skills. Kadimah JCamp LIT is a great opportunity to build your resume and create new memories at Kadimah JCamp. 
• LITs will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 hours per session for their high school volunteer hours.

Each session will be divided into three topics:

How to become a leader:

The first three days of each session, our young leaders will have different theoretical learning spaces both with their counselor and with the different specialists. They will learn the aspects to take care when leading a group, when planning or running an activity, how to work as a team and what are the red flags to watch out for.

How to be a leader:

The second three days, the LITs will follow and observe the different camp activities with smaller groups and assist the counselors or specialists in their programs. The process will serve as an example for young leaders to follow and draw their own conclusions.

Am I a leader?

The last 4 days the LITs will be in their placement and  prepare their own activities, run them for their group and then with the other groups. During this time they will be assisted by their supervisor.
