Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - A. Playground LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - A. Playground LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - A. Playground LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules
Tanners Playground Program Applicants:We will do our best to place all LITs in their preferred locations, but please keep in mind that spaces are limited at each site every session due to COVID guidelines. Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - A. Playground LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules
Tanners Playground Program Applicants:We will do our best to place all LITs in their preferred locations, but please keep in mind that spaces are limited at each site every session due to COVID guidelines. Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 1. Brooksby LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 1. Brooksby LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 1. Brooksby LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 1. Brooksby LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 1. Brooksby LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 1. Brooksby LIT Sessions 1 & 2
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 2. Brooksby LITSessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules
Tanners Playground Program Applicants:We will do our best to place all LITs in their preferred locations, but please keep in mind that spaces are limited at each site every session due to COVID guidelines. Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 2. Brooksby LITSessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules
Tanners Playground Program Applicants:We will do our best to place all LITs in their preferred locations, but please keep in mind that spaces are limited at each site every session due to COVID guidelines. Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - B. Playground LIT Sessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - B. Playground LIT Sessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules
Tanners Playground Program Applicants:We will do our best to place all LITs in their preferred locations, but please keep in mind that spaces are limited at each site every session due to COVID guidelines. Placements will be offered based on the applicants application and interview strength with preferences considered.Outdoor Adventures Applicants please note: Due to COVID restrictions, at this time we have a max capacity of 3 LITS for each session.

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 2. Brooksby LITSessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 2. Brooksby LITSessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 2. Brooksby LITSessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules

Leaders in Training (LIT) (Formerly CIT Program) - 2. Brooksby LITSessions 3 & 4
The LIT Program, Leaders in Training, is designed for teens ages 14-16 who would like to continue their summer experience while being exposed to new challenges and be presented with opportunities to improve their leadership skills in our summer recreation programs. Our leadership program offers a unique “camp” perspective. While LITs do get to participate in many of our activities, they don't experience them the same way a participant would. At the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby program, instead of shooting at archery, they may help with setting up targets, putting arm guards on, and cheering on the participants that are on the range. While at the Tanners Playground Program or Tiny Tanners Playground Program, instead of playing kickball, they may assist with setting up and help facilitating the game, or instead of playing in the bouncy house, they may be on the outer edges ensuring the safety of those inside the bouncy house. This program will teach you to be a leader, a role model, and possibly a future Peabody Recreation Leader. Although we always anticipate our programs be exciting and fun, we expect that there will be times when it will be hard. We also are confident that the life lessons learned from this program will only help to prepare you for future challenges. What will you learn?
We strive to teach:
Teamwork
Communication skills
Confidence building process
Relationship development
Critical thinking
Creativity
Conflict Resolution
How to lead activities, games, sports, arts & craft
Observe and contribute to the program planning
We expect that our LITs will
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Be respectful
Come to ready each day to have fun and work hard
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for leadership opportunities beyond those assigned
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Follow all program rules
