You will spend half the week acquiring leadership skills and will put them to the test mid-week, when the program shifts to “in the field” leadership and you are assigned a designated cabin to assist campers and staff.

LITs at Eagle Lake will be helping our campers make the most out of their camp experience. This will help you, and the campers gain confidence and experience beneficial for camp, the ice and your everyday lives!

On the ice, you will be given the opportunity to assist on-ice instructors with their daily ice sessions through planning, skill analysis, observation and assisting. This may encourage some of you to become instructors yourself!
