Outdoor Girl Leadership Programs
Counselor-in-Training
Are you an aspiring camp counselor or an older camper looking to take your leadership skills to the next level? Become a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) by joining us for a special two-week leadership program during summer camp! The CIT program is for Girl Scouts in grades 11-12. After successfully completing a CIT I program, you can advance your skills as a CIT II.
Please note: Full details and pre-requisites can be found in the Summer Camp Program Guide.
Riding Instructor-in-Training
Volunteers are an integral piece to the Circle C Equestrian Center. Our most popular volunteer program is our Riding Instructor-in-Training program (also known as RIIT program) for girls 13 years and older. Adults with or without a horse background are also welcome to join the training program.
As a Riding Instructor-in-Training, you will learn how to teach others about horses, as well as how to teach about grooming, leading, riding and caring for horses. In return for your help at the barn, you will have the opportunity to ride, broaden your knowledge of horses and meet friends that share a love for horses too!
Being a Riding Instructor-in-Training can be hard work. Volunteers
generally help with weekend riding programs. Some of their tasks
include: feeding, cleaning stalls, grooming horses, tacking, leading
horses on trail rides and assisting in teaching ground and mounted
lessons. Volunteers can work as little or as much as they would like.
Assistance is usually needed Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. during the
school year.
