Students entering grades 8-11 in the fall are eligible to participate in St. John’s Summer Program's Leader in Training program.

 

Participants must be willing and able to commit to the hours of 7:45am – 3pm for the full week during which they would like to participate.

 

LIT participants will follow the same schedule as the instructors: Daily Mass from 8:00-8:30am followed by opening song and prayer in the gym, class, group lunch, theology and Eucharistic Adoration. LIT participants must be agreeable to participating in the full experience, beginning with daily Mass and ending with Eucharistic Adoration and a brief daily wrap-up meeting. If desired, and with approval, they may elect to stay longer than 3:00pm to help with after care.

 

LIT participants must register for the entire summer.  The 8 week camp fee is $1.00.  Participants may attend on a week-by-week basis. There is no need to sign-up in advance to participate in any given week.  Just show up that Monday morning and sign in at the SJSP office.  At the end of every week, participants will be evaluated by their mentor instructors and the Program Director/Assistant Directors.  Participants with positive evaluations will be invited back.

 

In late May, all LIT participants who have registered online will receive an email invitation to the LIT Welcome/Orientation Night that will take place during the first or second week of June. 

​

Uniform/Dress Code:  While at SJSP, all LIT participants, be they gentlemen or women, shall wear shorts that reach six inches or less from the knees, jeans or pants (women may also wear dresses/skirts that fall below the knee) and shall wear a camp LIT tee-shirt (provided at no cost).  Yoga style pants and jeans with holes are not acceptable.  We are running a business and expect LIT participants to dress accordingly.  Participants deemed not dressed to code will be sent home to change.

 

All questions or concerns regarding the LIT program should be directed to Rich Olon at rolon@sjchollywood.org.
