Hello DECA camps!

A quick question, do any other diabtes camps have a formal CIT/LIT program within their diabetes camp structure that they employ each year for their future diabetes camp leaders? If you do, do you have a program manual to share? Camp Hertko Hollow is going through a revision process of our current CIT/LIT program and I would like to 'compare notes', so to speak with other successful CIT/LIT programs that are currently being used by diabetes camps. Camp Hertko Hollow has a very short turn-around time on the research aspect of our new CIT/LIT program. A quick response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Ann Wolf

Hello, I'm new to the forum and i am unfamiliar with the acronyms.....please spell it out at least once or refer me to an index to look it up. I would like to know what CIT/LIT represents.

I'm very glad to be here on the forum with everyone...I just joined DECA and with hard work i think ill be able to bring a diabetes camp to my own community.

Please don't be shy about acquainting me with any special use conventions that we are supposed to follow on this forum!

"CIT" stands for counselor-in-training and "LIT" leader-in-training. Camps use these terms to describe older teens being trained as future counselors - most who have previously attended their own camping program. DECA has sample LIT manuals and resources to download for members in the Members Only section of the "downloads/Resources" tab. Welcome and good luck. Keep posting.
