Camper in Leadership Training (CILT)
Our Camper in Leadership Training (CILT) program is two weeks long. Campers begin to learn the essentials of leadership,
serve God, solidify fundamental beliefs, and build strong relationships with others.
CILT is a general leadership program with the following major goals:
1. Grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
2. Learn the values and philosophy of Camp Cherith
3. Understand the duties of a staff member and practice the skills required by staff members
such as planning evening programs, cookouts, campouts, and cabin time
CILT 1
CILTs in their first year (CILT 1s) attend skills as active observers. They are to participate in everything, set a good example for other campers, and observe skill leadership. They will be asked to assist in leading each of their skills for one day. They will participate in evening programs and are available to assist with leading programs according to their giftedness.
