This two-week opportunity is for campers who are ready to begin the pathway to camp leadership at overnight camp. During their first week, Counselors-in-Training (CITs) will have training on topics such as introduction to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, age and social characteristics of younger campers, essential skills needed to be a great counselor and how to lead songs and games. During their second week, CITs will split their time between training sessions and shadowing camp staff working with younger campers. They will observe the unit and program staff, evaluate experiences and receive guidance from the CIT Coordinator as they assist in units. During both weeks, CITs will spend nights in their own unit and receive ongoing supervision and leadership guidance from the CIT Coordinator, while building teamwork skills and observing unit staff.
IMPORTANT: CITs will need to be picked up on Friday like any other camper for both weeks of their stay. CITs will not be staying at camp the weekend between their two weeks at camp.
PREREQUISITE: Program Aide Award or six volunteer hours working with younger girls AND admission into the Teen Outdoor Leadership Program (TOLP) by application.
