Leaders In Training Program

Various work sites

A leadership program for teens to develop skills and assist with summer camps in Chandler.

▌ Editor's read The Leaders In Training Program is offered by Chandler Recreation, a municipal parks department, indicating a public and community-focused ownership structure. The website loads successfully and provides details about the program, which is designed for teens aged 13-15. Participants assist camp counselors with daily activities, learn leadership skills, and gain experience working with children. The program is a day camp format, running from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. While there's no specific mention of staff-to-camper ratios or background checks for LITs on the program page, as a municipal program, it likely adheres to city employment standards. The Chandler Recreation Facebook page (chandlerrec) has a 4.6-star rating from 107 reviews, and their Instagram handle is @chandlerrec. The program is not ACA accredited, which is common for municipal programs.

Who thrives here Ages 13–17

Leaders In Training Program serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in community/rec center, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
