Leadership Skills

Leaders-in-Training (LITs) step up within the Trackers community, gaining hands-on leadership experience while learning from mentors and guides. They connect with and inspire younger Trackers under supervision, passing on knowledge from one generation to the next. This blend of learning and leadership sharpens their skills and prepares them to be future mentors.

Bonus LIT Summer Camps

Leader-in-Training Apprentices receive four free weeks of optional Leader-in-Training Summer Day Camps with their year’s tuition.

Expectations

LITs inspire and connect with younger Apprentices in supervised settings. They must always be kind, thoughtful, and adhere to our code of care. Meeting these expectations ensures success in the program and future LIT opportunities. If expectations are not met, participation will be reassessed to maintain a positive environment for all.



Our Team

Experienced Trackers Mentors lead this program. Each day, they help students build deeper connections with each other, their community, and nature.

  • Expertise in mentoring and Trackers skills.
  • Low student-to-guide ratio facilitating personal, team-based learning.
  • Background checked with First Aid & CPR certification.
