Do you love being outside, solving challenges, and making new friends? Then LIT Camp is for you! This 5-day camp session will develop a cohort of energetic youth leaders who are ready to expand their skills and interests in the outdoors. At camp, LITs will be part of a collaborative team with peers and NBNC staff as they navigate leadership styles, group challenges, and outdoor skills such as wildcrafting, nature identification, and fire building. This is for teens who are excited to spend time outside and gain experience with outdoor leadership and interpersonal skills. Upon completing the camp program, LITs are encouraged to sign up for 1-4 weeks of service as a mentor and assistant with NBNC’s PreK - 3rd grade camps. During service weeks, LITs will work alongside NBNC staff as they put their skills into practice and become part of the camp community. During your service time you will be a guide for other campers as you lead games, songs, and stories; assist with arts and crafts; and help campers prepare for the day. Available service dates run in one-week sessions from June 30th through August 15th, 2025. LITs serve for all five days of a week-long camp session, for a maximum of 4 weeks. Number of weeks and scheduling are determined by each LIT’s stated availability and NBNC’s staffing needs. As compensation, LITs will receive: a $100 gift card to a local business of choice for each week of service; supervision and written evaluation of performance from NBNC educators; and experience in community service, nature education, goal-setting, and teambuilding.
