The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is the perfect opportunity for teens entering 9th or 10th grade (ages 14–15) to develop leadership skills, teamwork, and a strong work ethic in a fun and supportive camp environment.

As the first step from camper to potential staff member, CITs gain hands-on experience by shadowing counselors, planning activities, and engaging in interactive training and team-building exercises. This program helps teens build confidence, responsibility, and essential skills they can use in any future leadership role.

CITs are selected based on maturity, enthusiasm, and a passion for camp leadership. While this program does not guarantee employment, it’s an incredible stepping stone for future opportunities!
