Completed Grades 10-12
This 2-3 week program is a combination of leadership training, ministry education, and camp activities! It is specifically for high school campers, completed grades 10-12, who are interested in learning what it is like to serve on camp staff, and an application/interview process is required (see below).
Schedule
Week 1: June 22-27 (Cost: $490)
LITs learn and practice leadership skills and tools to use at camp, in their home congregation, school, community, and future endeavors. A highlight is a trip to Covenant Point’s ropes course.
Service Weeks: (no additional charge)
For service weeks, campers will have the opportunity to list their preference for dates from the options below, and ideal dates will be chosen by the Camp Director:
-
- Option 1: July 6 – 11
- Option 2: July 13 – 18
- Option 3: July 20 – 25

There is no additional charge for these additional weeks.
LITs work with younger campers onsite or serve within the kitchen and maintenance areas under the guidance of a summer staff member.
2nd year LITs may also be assigned to serve on one of our Day Camp teams. LITs are expected to live as role models to campers and work with and be responsible to the summer staff to which they are assigned.

Application / Registration
- The LIT program is limited to 12 participants. LITs must complete an application and submit two professional/spiritual references. Acceptance is based on qualifications, reference checks, timeliness of the application, and the ability to attend 2-3 full weeks at Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp.
- Registration for this program will be completed AFTER both the application and references have been completed and approval is given.
Please note: We never wish to turn away anyone for financial reasons. If your child would like to attend camp and cost is a concern, please complete our Campership Application or call 906-214-2267 or email officemanager@fortunelake.org for information.
Please note: In 2025, LITs will attend the mandatory first week of the program. In the event LITs elect to do two (2) consecutive weeks, activities and meals may be provided on their weekend down-time, but details must be worked out with the Camp Director ahead of time.
