The Venture - LIT program is an optional second step in Camp Queen Elizabeth’s leadership training program. This 5 week program consists of an extended canoe trip on either the Missinaibi River(July) or on the Kenogami and Albany Rivers (August).

While the Leadership 1 program focuses on personal skill development and leadership within their peer group, the Venture LIT program focuses on leadership in a wilderness environment, decision-making, and the further development of tripping skills.
