FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does it cost to participate in the L.I.T. program?
Many programs around the United States charge as much as $600 per week for such programs. Not only does Rock Solid have some of the most dynamic leadership mentors in the country, but we have also learned that when you make an investment in such a program you are much more likely to walk
away having grown and learned more, thus preparing you quicker for a future opportunity on the Rock Solid staff. Also, while L.I.T.s are in a serving capacity, there is still supervision required.
Why must L.I.T.s apply for this program?
The application process allows the applicant to find out more about the program and determine whether it suits his/her needs. It also allows the director to inform the parent and L.I.T. of the expectations.
I was an L.I.T. last year, do I still need to apply?
Yes. L.I.T.s need to apply every year. This allows the Director to reinforce expectations and also to see where the applicant has grown in the last year and what areas may need more attention throughout the summer.
Can I pick which group I am with?
We will certainly take into account special requests, but we cannot guarantee certain placement. Ultimately, the L.I.T. Director and Camp Director will make the final decision as to placement.
Can L.I.T.s sign themselves in and out?
No. Technically, L.I.T.s are still campers and therefore Rock Solid is still responsible for their safety. We need to know who is at camp on a given day and at a given time and the sign in/out process gives us these checks.
Are all applicants accepted into the program?
While we make every attempt to provide a program for every applicant, we cannot guarantee a spot in the program due to limitations in the number of supervisory staff we can provide.
How old do I have to be to work at Rock Solid?
On rare occasions, we hire few fifteen year olds, but typically, a staff member must be 16 years old with a workers permit.
Are there scholarships available?
Yes. We will award 5 L.I.T. scholarships this year based on leadership and service qualities.
