The Leadership programs at Camp Jorn are designed around the YMCA core values of Caring, Respect, Responsibility and Honesty. Through these programs, it is our intent that all individuals develop the necessary skills and maturity to become effective leaders and youth counselors. The programs are progressive in nature. The goal of the programs is not only to teach participants about leadership qualities but to foster those qualities in themselves in a safe and fun atmosphere.
The experience in the Leadership programs is one that participants will be able to use at camp as well as back home in leadership roles at school, on teams, in the workplace and in the community.

Leaders in Training (LITs)
2-week programs for campers entering 9th grade
The first step is understanding the skills and principles of effective leadership. The participants will develop concepts of teamwork, communication, problem-solving and decision making and what it takes to be a positive role model. LITs explore the model of "servant leadership" and complete a camp, community or environmental service project during their stay. Campers must be entering at least the 9th grade in the fall of '10. The LIT program is co-ed and includes a wilderness trip.
