Personal Statement
Why do you want to be an LIT at Camp Newaygo?
We find that the best LITs are willing to be silly and spontaneous. Describe a time when you allowed yourself to be silly with children.
Tell us why you enjoy working with children, and why you should be trusted to supervise and support campers.

Personal Statement Continued...
What song best describes your work ethic, and why?
Describe a time you completely failed. What did you learn? How are you better because of it?
The LIT experience is a chance to give back to Camp Newaygo. LITs that succeed in this program understand that this experience is very different than participating as a camper at Camp Newaygo. Tell us why you DON'T want to be a Camp Newaygo camper.
What reservations, if any, do you have about being an LIT at Camp Newaygo?
