Take a hike, climb a tower, rescue a swimmer, change a life, and become the man you’re meant to be. The LIT Internship combines traditional camp activities with leadership training and experiential learning. The WLC LIT Internship will teach and test your skills in surviving the wild NH landscape, the smells of the WLC kitchen and wayside, and a rambunctious cabin full of boys!
LITs will apprentice as cabin and activity leaders, having a day-to-day impact on the younger campers while enjoying traditional camp activities. You will be performing important duties in maintenance and the dining hall; learning the nitty-gritty of being a valuable part of a larger community and what hard work means. And to ensure independence, responsibility and fun, LITs will plan, lead and participate in an overnight wilderness trip into the north woods of New Hampshire.
Along with the preparation for working at Camp, LITs will have the opportunity to receive tangibles for their future outside of camp.
To qualify for the LIT Program, you MUST be going into the 11th grade for the 2025-2026 school year. Campers from outside the United States who want to be part of the LIT Program must be 17 years old.
Leaders In Training get to enjoy the tradition of William Lawrence while preparing for their future as an employee at William Lawrence Camp and beyond. Check out our LIT Program Particulars for more details!
