Leaders In Training
Learn and Flourish as a Leader
The Leaders in Training (LIT) program offers teens ages 14-17 a safe and friendly environment for personal growth. Our learning initiatives provide leadership opportunity for teens to pour into each other and the lives of campers. They will learn how to communicate with, live with, and ultimately love people who come from backgrounds and cultures different from their own.

"At Tall Turf I realized I wanted to work with young people
[...] I've been doing youth ministry since Tall Turf."
LaShone Manuel, Leader In Training, LIT Mentor
"After experiencing Tall Turf, I had a lot of hope—hope for myself and for the next generation. At Tall Turf I realized everybody’s spiritual walk is different, and it’s not supposed to be linear. Tall Turf gave me new ways to worship and pray."
Sinclair Hargrave, Leader In Training, Counselor
