Kids First Sports Center’s L.I.T. (Leaders in Training) Program
…provides participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare them for future employment in any field. Our program covers such topics as leadership, conflict resolution and group dynamics. Working as a group, L.I.T.’s have the opportunity to function as a “team” as well as to practice leadership and interpersonal relationships. This philosophy will be the focus throughout the program. To accomplish its objective, each participant will be held to a high level of commitment and maturity. Please understand that Kids First’s L.I.T. program involves a serious commitment to Campapalooza and its goals and mission. L.I.T. positions are limited and filled based on the discretion of the Camp Director.
