Become a Heart LITe

Heart O’ the Hills offers an experience for young women who are too old to be campers, but don’t yet qualify to be counselors.  This Leader-in-Training program is designed to teach participants how to become a better leader and role model for young girls while assisting with the day-to-day operations of camp. 
We want Heart LITes who are willing to learn and have a strong desire to one day become great counselors!  Heart LITes do not always get assigned the most glamorous jobs around camp, but we can guarantee a really great time as long as you have a positive attitude and love for service; here are just a few things Heart LITes do:

   -Assist in teaching activities
   -Sort and distribute mail to campers
   -Conduct daily tepee inspection
   -Serve snacks
   -Manage nightly “Milk Line”
   -Set and clear tables for all meals
   -Supervise tepees during siesta
   -Help with office duties
   -Assist in the set-up for evening programming
   -Learn workplace skills (e.g. paperwork, chain of command)
   -Gain intangible experience working with others
   -Serve as a role model for campers
   -Meet people from all over the world
   -Form lifelong friendships


Heart LITes live in a dorm-style room with other Heart LITes, supervised by a head counselor.  Being a LITe is a volunteer position. The first term (four weeks) you work for no pay, and in subsequent four-week terms, you're paid $100.00. The true monetary benefit is, however, that when you become a counselor, you will be paid on the veteran pay scale rather than the rookie scale, which is a difference of about 10%!  
Each prospective Heart LITe should submit the following:

   -application form
   -three reference forms from non-family adults who know you well, returned directly to us
   -voluntary disclosure form

Once we receive your completed application package, we will arrange an interview with you (which may be conducted over the phone, only if you are unable to meet with us in person). Feel free to contact us at any time to check on the status of your application.
ELIGIBILITY:
To be eligible to apply as a Heart LITe for a long term you must be at least 17 years of age.
To be eligible to apply as a Heart LITe for a short term you must be at least 13 years of age
