Leaders-In-Training Program I (age 15) $1,495-$1,695
Teens looking for an opportunity to develop skills for leadership positions at school, church, work, or camp will find our leadership development program extremely valuable.

Their active schedule includes time for both learning and practical application, as well as forming tight-knit friendships with a healthy dose of fun! Campers leave our LIT program more confident of their skills in public speaking, decision making, problem solving and in many other components of leadership.
LIT I Campers:
Session #1 June 24-July 7
Session #2 July 8-21
Session #3 July 22-August 4
Session #4 August 5-18
The fee for a two-week session in the LIT program ranges from $1495 to $1695. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your reservation. Financial assistance is available. Please click here to register.

JEDI Leaders-In-Training II (ages 15-16) $1,495-$1,695
The Jedi program takes campers behind the scenes, providing them with the skills and knowledge required to be a true expert of Camp Jewell. Bridging the gap between LIT I and CIT’s, Jedi get to acquire the wide ranging hard skills Camp has to offer.
Jedi:
• Learn the history and legends of Camp Jewell.
• Gain experience leading large group all-camp activities.
• Become experts of the area, extensively exploring the whole 540 acres.
• Experience a two-night overnight expedition to Glacier Mountain (on-site)
• Learn how to facilitate and set up high rope elements.
• Gain experience within a wide range of clinics both assisting and leading.
The Jedi program serves as a bridge between LIT I and CIT’s and thus campers typically have completed the LIT I program beforehand.

Hold-Over Weekends
Several of our campers choose to attend more than one session each summer. When those chosen sessions are “back-to-back,” campers have the opportunity to enjoy Camp Jewell’s hold-over program. Hold-over runs from 11:30am on Check-out Saturday until lunch on Check-in Sunday.
Our hold-over program is more than just waiting around for the next camp session to start. In addition to getting the entire camp to themselves, hold-over campers get to enjoy activities normally reserved for different programs and age groups. Campers have the opportunity to climb Mt. Meggido, normally reserved for teens! Swimming, games, movies, and arts and crafts round out the fun. Plus, hold-over campers get to move into their cabins first and have all of their laundry washed. Adequate time is set aside, however, for the campers to just rest and relax.
Of course, parents are welcome to check-out their children during the hold-over weekend. Simply call ahead and indicate a pick-up time. We will insure your child will be ready to go and enjoy a dinner, movie, or activity with the family. If parents would like to stay overnight in the local area, there are several hotels and attractions available. For a full list of lodging and activity options, please click here.
