Ministry through service

We couldn’t do camp without our LITs! Whether you’re serving meals in the kitchen, helping counselors during cabin time, or cleaning up track areas, you’ll be investing in the experience of every camper.

The Leader in Training Program is one of the most rewarding parts of Camp Arrowwood. As an LIT, you’ll learn what it means to lead through service: working hard, studying Scripture, and building relationships that reflect the love of Christ. You’ll be mentored by our LIT Leader and grow in your faith while making an unforgettable impact.

  • You’re in high school (ages 15-17) and ready to spend your summer serving

  • You have a personal relationship with Jesus and a desire to grow in your faith

  • You’re willing to work hard and joyfully, whether that means washing dishes or leading a game

  • You love kids and want to make camp awesome for them

  • You’re ready to unplug from screens and lean into real, face-to-face community

  • You can commit to Staff Week + at least 3 additional weeks of camp

What you'll do

  • Assist kitchen staff with meals and cleanup

  • Help counselors with games, tracks, and evening programs

  • Keep assigned areas clean and organized

  • Participate in chapel and daily camp activities

  • Join a weekly book study and connection groups with the LIT Leader

  • Spend time with younger campers during evening cabin time and devotions

What you’ll gain

  • Leadership training through service and discipleship

  • Spiritual growth through Bible study, prayer, and mentorship

  • Hands-on experience working alongside our summer staff

  • Community & friendship with fellow LITs who love Jesus and camp life

  • A summer full of fun, faith, and growth

Housing & Scheduling

  • LITs live together in the LIT Cabin (girls) or The Shed (boys) with the LIT Leader

  • One day off between sessions (Fri 5:00 pm - Sun 2:00 pm)

We hire based on the best fit for our summer staff team. Preference is given to those who can serve the most weeks.
