The Leader in Training (LIT) Program isn't a volunteer program.
It's our leadership incubator.
This summer, 23 high school students chose to invest their summer in something bigger than themselves. They didn't just help at Camp Kelley—they became leaders our campers looked up to every single day.
Together, they led more than 70 swim instruction sessions, helping 536 campers pass their swim test this summer. They encouraged homesick campers, solved problems, played games, prayed with and for campers, and showed up every day ready to serve.
At the same time, we invested in them.
They explored three college campuses, learned practical financial skills through the University of Georgia's Financial Resilience and Education Center, earned their Junior Swim Instructor certification, completed Hands-Only CPR training, and developed leadership skills that will serve them long after summer ends.
The LIT Program is about preparing young people for what comes next—whether that's college, a career, or becoming leaders in their communities.
We're incredibly proud of these 23 young men and women. Thank you for the heart, leadership, and example you set for hundreds of campers this summer. We can't wait to see what your future holds! 🌟
