This two-week opportunity is for the aspiring summer camp counselor. During their first week, CITs will spend nights in their own unit and will split their time between training sessions with the CIT Coordinator and shadowing camp staff working with younger campers. While shadowing, they will observe unit and program staff, evaluate experiences and receive guidance from the CIT Coordinator as they assist in units. During their second week, CITs will become Junior Counselors and spend their days working with a group of younger campers, taking an active role in leading them. During both weeks, CITs will spend nights in their own units 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: CIT I and admission into the Teen Outdoor Leadership Program (TOLP) by application.
