In addition to the changes in structure, the camps will have a Leader in Training (LIT) program.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders in Training (LIT) is a leadership development program hosted by the BC Youth Department at both Camp Sunrise and Camp Mountainview. This program is for ages 14+ and focuses on areas of personal, spiritual, and leadership development for teenagers. Some of the leaders from Sunrise will be traveling to Mountainview, providing an excellent opportunity for staff and volunteers to connect and grow together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joyce Downer, Divisional Children & Youth Secretary for BC says, “We are committed to providing an unforgettable summer filled with fun, friendship and personal growth for all our campers.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
