Get Ready to Lead
Counselors in Training 7th – 10th grade $440 week must sign up for 4 weeks but does not have to be back to back weeks.
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program is an experience for campers completing the 7th-9th grade. It provides leadership opportunities that prepare teens to become staff members and leaders at camp or elsewhere. The CIT program includes: internship in all aspects of a counselor’s job at camp, participation in service projects, training sessions on topics such as basic child development and behavior management, counseling techniques and best practices, communication and leadership.
Our CIT program is designed to enhance interpersonal and communication skills while fostering independence and self-awareness. Service is also an important part of the CIT program; we believe that service to others, whether individually or in a community, is an essential character value at camp and at home. Successful participants will come away from this program with valuable leadership skills that will serve them well at home, in school, and in their own community. CIT’s are campers while preparing for their future potential opportunities as camp counselors.
Camper applicants must complete the CIT application to be considered for the program. Entry into the program is competitive and is based upon the completed application and an interview with the camp director.
Let the good times roll!
