New Camp for 2020

Since 1981, Decatur Children and Youth Services’ day camps – like iDiscover Camp and Camp Sycamore – have instilled life skills, leadership, character, and social and emotional development through engaging, hands-on activities, fun, and play. Through 38 years of summer camp history we have seen campers blossom and grow to become counselors and leaders-in-training, junior counselors, counselors, and camp directors. Some of our former campers are now camp parents.

We are excited to continue our day camp legacy this summer with [DRUMROLL PLEASE!] a new camp program for 2020: Legacy Park Day Camp. The new Legacy Park Day Camp program offers three program areas for campers: Team Up, STEAM Team, and Green Team. Campers will have Legacy is not fun all over the park with a wide variety of games, leaving something sports, team challenges, do-it-your self project, see NEW CAMP on page 2

eaders-in-Training (LIT) is a teen leadership summer camp program that provides teens an opportunity to develop management and leadership skills through innovative and project-based learning activities geared toward college and career exploration, service and social impact, and active living. The objective is to empower teens to embrace the importance of independence, interdependence, relationship building, problem solving, effective communication, selfmanagement, assertiveness, and group management skills. Throughout the course of the dynamic LIT summer camp, teens also participate in job readiness workshops where they learn interview skills and participate in a mock interview, build their resume and cover letter, and get professional headshots.

The LIT program begins with an intensive orientation in which LITs learn about proper supervision and about leading a variety of activities for younger children. The LITs learn CPR and First Aid as well as other skills and knowledge in preparation for supporting the summer camp program. The orientation week is mandatory for all LITs and runs June 8-12, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily.

All LITs must attend every day of orientation – no exceptions! LITs close their orientation with a mandatory graduation team-building trip that allows them to use the week’s newly learned skills. Throughout the summer LITs have ongoing training and special activities.

Applications for the LIT program may be found online at decaturga.com/cys on the Forms & Documents page, or pick up an application packet at the Decatur Recreation Center, Ebster Recreation Center, DHS or RMS starting Jan. 4. Applications must be returned by March 14. Interviews will take place April 6-10 (unless otherwise arranged).
