SUMMARY:Leadership Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:Leadership Training Camp\nEntering grades 7-9\, only\nSession 2: Monya Relles and Peter Lamdin\nMondays-Fridays\, 8:45am-3pm\nSession 2: July 3 – July 14 (two weeks)\nFees: Tier A $1\,050; Tier B $875; Tier C $744; Tier D $569\n \nLTC is where new leaders can develop their skills as naturalists\, activity leaders\, problem solvers\, and community members\, and returning leaders can strengthen the skills they’ve been developing. This is done through our “spiral” system\, with spirals representing your experience in LTC (spiral 1 for first year campers\, spiral 2 for second year campers\, etc.) and each spiral holding different expectations and skills. We plan to incorporate some of our favorite activities from previous years\, such as rock climbing\, ropes course challenges and our camping overnight\, along with new activities\, challenges and field trips. We’ll take time to develop as a group\, to work with the younger campers to put what we learn into practice\, and to be campers ourselves: playing in the woods and learning about and exploring nature. \nLeadership Training Camp is jam-packed with outdoor adventures\, group challenges\, nature hikes and discussions on what makes good leaders. We offer up a combination of games and songs with leadership skills you can use as a Hitchcock Junior Counselor\, at school\, and just in life!  \nLTC is an active camp\, but time is also spent listening and learning from each other by sharing knowledge and talking about our experiences and how they help us become better leaders. It is designed for all Hitchcock campers entering grades 7-9 looking to learn what it takes to lead others in the outdoors. It is designed for those who may want to be a Counselor-in-Training or Junior Counselor at Hitchcock or other camps\, who want a chance to develop leadership skills that can apply to other parts of their life\, or who just want to learn new skills and have some fun.  Please note that drop-off and pick-up times for LTC may change on some days depending on our schedule for that day.
