Meet some of our 2015 Leaders in Training

My name is Emily and this will be my fifth summer at FLC. One of the greatest lessons I learned at Forest Lake is the reward that leaving your comfort zone provides. Whether it’s immersing yourself in a new activity or breaking out of your shell to make new friends at FLC, failure does not exist and one will never regret his/her decision to do so. I really hope to share my passion for FLC with the new and returning campers this summer! I think that FLC is such an amazing place, and I hope that I can help other campers appreciate it too. I am looking forward to this coming summer, and am excited (and ready) to tackle the new responsibilities that my LIT team and I will take on! I can’t wait for summer 2015!

My name is Cate. To me, the LIT program means I can grow and shape not only as a person but as an adult.  My LIT summer will allow me to take on new responsibility and of course leadership.  My LIT summer has been something I have wanted to be a part of since my very first day at camp almost 5 years ago.  I love bringing fun and happiness all around and seeing a child smile. Camp has always been a great experience for me and some of my best memories and friends I have made at FLC. What I want to do is to try and share some of the same experience I had as a camper and pass this on to future campers.

My name is Elijah. To me, the LIT program is a good transitional opportunity for campers hoping to become counselors. Although LITs do live in a cabin with people their age and participate in activities with other campers, they also have to exhibit more leadership and responsibility towards campers, which is a great way to make the adjustment from camper to counselor. I work well with younger children, and I feel that I am a responsible and fun person. As an LIT I will learn new things that will help me in the future.

My name is Jack.  I have attended FLC for 7 great years. The number one lesson I have learned through FLC is that if you focus on the bright side of a situation, nothing will slow you down. One special thing I would like to spread during my LIT year would be my love and enthusiasm for the color wars . This year as an LIT I would like to do two things; one, to help the campers have the best summer possible and two, to help the entire camp become a camp of ultimate frisbee champs!
