Session Overview

Leaders-in-Training are taught using a variety of teaching styles and settings. The following is a list of the core teaching areas and topics.

Personal Development

The more you can understand yourself, the better you will be able to understand what you need from those you’re leading or following.

Also, by understanding yourself, you will also be able to understand those around you and hopefully be able to work better and more easily with them. The list below covers the overall areas we cover through our LIT program.

 

Leadership Development

There are so many components to leadership and being a leader; the following are the topics we focus on during LIT.

Our goal is for each participant to be exposed to the basics of these leadership topics and each participant to have the opportunity to practice what they have learned as well as explore their leadership style. The LIT staff provides insightful feedback continually that is specific to each participant in order for them grow as a leader in their own leadership style.

Spiritual Growth

Medeba's mission is to use Adventure and Community to challenge young people to say "Yes" to God.

Our goal is for each participant to learn more about a God who loves us and more about Christianity.

Adventure Skills

Training is given in most skills offered at Medeba. Each LIT will have the opportunity to experience these activities.

We recognize that participants will vary greatly in their skill levels prior to this course. Also, each participant will be more interested in certain skills we teach; each participant will further their skills in each area as far as possible.

Operating an Outdoor Centre

Operating an outdoor centre is about much more than just fun programming. There are many different areas that are required for an outdoor centre to operate. Also, there is a tremendous amount of planning and preparing before the arrival of any campers.

Participants will learn general principles of operating an outdoor centre. As well, we give each participant the opportunity to be part of a leadership team to prepare and lead a portion of operating an outdoor centre. We believe that this will help participants understand the greater picture of leadership.
