Jr. Staff / LITs
At Camp Wannacombac, we love Leadership opportunities and we offer a couple of different options for AHG girls and LITs to serve during their time at Camp!
AHG unashamedly believes, teaches, and practices Biblical principles throughout its Program and is committed to developing girls’ character and to teaching girls how to apply the truths of God’s Word to every aspect of life.
It is the expectation of AHG, Inc. that Girl Members not only subscribe to, but strive to live according to the values represented in the AHG Oath and Creed, to which they agreed when they became a member. With this expectation, it is understood that, just like adults, girls face temptation and are not without sin. Because we all fall short from time to time, it is important that AHG remain a place of grace and truth. Girls, especially during their adolescent years, are trying to determine who they are and how their faith and the culture play into that identity. AHG can serve a critical role in guiding girls toward their identity in Christ. AHG is meant to be a ministry of transformation—a ministry which surrounds girls with godly adults that will offer them sound Biblical advice, encouragement, grace, and truth. AHG, and by extension Camp Wannacombac should be a safe place for girls to navigate the confusion that is today’s moral landscape. Girl Leaders need to be strong in their faith and commit to being a Godly role-model for other girls.

Come Serve as an LIT 🔥
LITs are AHG members who are between the ages of 18, 19, and 20!
Team Player:
LITs are a very important part of Leadership at Camp Wannacombac. As an LIT at camp, you will be able to experience a unique level of leadership that you would not receive within a troop setting. You will also be provided the opportunity to meet with AHG leaders from other areas, allowing you to see how troops from all over carry out the different facets of AHG. You may also solicit feedback from the Junior Staff to assist camp staff in areas of best practices and areas of improvement.
Servant Leadership:
LITs, along with Junior Staff are at camp to serve - filling in where needed, running errands, helping the lost camper (yes, it happens), making sandwiches, organizing flag ceremonies, running evening activities, etc.. All of these tasks should be approached with joy and boundless enthusiasm.
The goal of a leadership program that focuses on Christ-centered character development is to establish young leaders who can be called to servant-leaders. You are called to lead:
* with humility
* by example
* with integrity
* with enthusiasm
* with purpose
* by following Christ
Evaluations:
Mrs. Bourque will take every opportunity during camp to encourage the LITs and Junior Staff team collectively and individually. Correction of behavior or duty implementation may be needed at times. This is a powerful opportunity for you to learn leadership skills and for Mrs. Bourque to offer wisdom and guidance. Evaluation is important to the success of next year’s camp and to the next leadership opportunity you encounter. Having daily evaluation is a way to determine if task assignments are appropriate, communication is effective, and schedules are adequate. A thorough evaluation will take place soon after camp closes.
The Camp Director and AHG Camp Staff will ask for feedback on each LIT and the Junior Staff team as a whole. The AHG Camp Staff will decide if feedback on LIT performance will be solicited from other adult volunteers. You will be made aware of the feedback, which will assist you in your leadership development. LITs will also have the opportunity to evaluate their experience.
Once registering for an LIT position, you will receive an email with more information about the role and forms that need to be filled out and returned to Darlene Bourque at [email protected]
From all of us on the AHG Camp Wannacombac Staff, we look forward to serving with you!

It is crucial that all girls read and understand the Camp Wannacombac Behavior policy specific to your role. Your selection in a leadership role sets an example for other girls. Campers serving in a leadership position that do not adhere to or reflect the policy will be asked to step down from their position.
