Leader in Training (LiT) or Baby LiT (Blitz)All new leaders begin in the BLITZ or LIT program, which runs alongside the kids holiday camp. BLITZ is for year 9 and up who have not led before or who staff believe need more training before being assigned to a cabin. They spend the mornings at the BLITZ program and afternoons in the LIT program. The beginning of their servant-hearted leadership journey.
Want to get involved at CYC?
At CYC we have a range of leadership opportunities and exciting ways for you to be involved. Check out the info below for more info about the different roles.
Being a leader or helper at a holiday camp is one of the most rewarding and coolest things you can do in your holiday. In the space of 5 days you get to become a friend, a helper, a bed time story teller, a big brother/sister, a hero and a light for Jesus to an awesome bunch of kids you'll never forget, or who will never forget you! CYC is here to help you become the best you can in all of the above.
Kids Camp Values
We value love and respect for God. We value love and care for one another above anything else, as found in the gospels of Matthew 22:37-39 and John 13:34-35
Kids Camp Vision
To see every camper build their own relationship with Jesus, know they are loved and valued by God, grow in confidence and be inspired to live out their faith. To see leaders grow as servant-hearted role models, following the example of Jesus, love others, build up the next generation, and change the world for the better.
Kids Camp Mission
To be role models, like Jesus is to us, and to love people wholeheartedly. We aim to inspire campers to build their own relationship with Jesus and to help our guests grow in their understanding of who they are and of the Creator who made them. We do this by providing an environment that builds confidence and reflects Christ’s love in all we do.
