Counselors in Training

Ages 16-17

Join us for a special 4-week leadership development program designed for older teens who want to become counselors. Through workshops and hands-on experience, you’ll learn about group leadership, program planning, communication, working with kids, health and safety, creating a positive cabin community, and facilitating adventure teambuilding. CITs gain in-depth skills in a special interest area such as high ropes, climbing tower, mountain biking, or waterfront, and gain trip leadership experience by planning and taking part in a special CIT trip. CITs will be prepared for Red Cross First Aid and CPR certification.

CITs assume all camp leadership roles by designing and leading some evening activities and special events. Your schedule includes time to work directly with younger campers in activities and cabins under staff supervision, as well as time to relax with other CITs.

Being a CIT is a unique experience—you learn and grow as a leader while having fun.

You’ll learn to be a positive role model for younger campers, and explore being a counselor. We accept a limited number of CITs in order to provide a strong program. We use an application process, ensuring the CIT program is a good fit for both you and us.The application deadline is March 5, 2006.

CITs who successfully complete the program have the opportunity to apply for a paid junior counselor or full staff position for the summer of 2007.
