Leaders in Training (LIT) Program

*Formerly the Counselor in Training (CIT) Program

A note about our program’s name change: For summer 2027, we have renamed our popular Counselor in Training (CIT) program to the Leaders in Training (LIT) program. Our LIT program will offer the same high quality training, skill building and hands-on practice within our camps, with a renewed focus on nurturing future leaders, not just in the camp environment, but in all fields and social settings. We hope that by participating in our LIT program, students will begin to develop tools they will use throughout their lives.


AGES: 14-15

 Candidates MUST commit to at least one consecutive two-week period.

The Bullis Summer Programs Leaders in Training (LIT) Program is an experiential program for students who:

  • have finished 8th grade 
  • are typically between the ages of 14 to 15 (must be at least 14 by 6/21/2027) 
  • have the ability to commit to at least one two-week session (this is required)

The program is designed to develop and foster core skills of leadership, integrity, character, communication, and initiative. The LIT acquires skills through active participation in the summer programs activities, with instructors and staff serving as mentors to the program’s campers. The LIT program is a model for promoting positive group dynamics, inspiring creativity, and fostering a nurturing and caring environment for all children, while developing and reflecting upon the acquired skills through this volunteer service. Participants in the program will also start each day in a leadership class where they will learn about different styles of leadership, create a resume and cover letter, and take part in mock interviews.

  1. Prospective LITs must first apply for the position through the Bullis Careers page before registering for the LIT program on the camp website.
  2. Vetted CITs will have either a phone or in-person interview with the LIT Coordinator or the Director of Auxiliary Programs to determine selection for the program.
  3. If selected for the program, the LITs will then register for the program through the camp registration website.

Bullis Summer Programs LITs who successfully complete the program receive 80 Student Service Learning (SSL) hours through Montgomery County Public Schools.
