LIT Program

Leader in Training Program

Most of our staff were once campers who decided to pass their great camp experiences on to future generations. Our Leader in Training Program offers teens an opportunity to do this with an emphasis on serving God by serving God’s children. HCC has a wonderful pool of young people from which to choose counsellors, and the Diocese of Huron is enriched by active, knowledgeable and faithful young leaders…
