Description
Our Counselor in Training is a 4-week program that begins with two weeks of on-the-job training alongside experienced mentors. By designing, implementing, and evaluating large group activities, participants gain proficiency in some of the biggest challenges a counselor might face. They also spend time developing age-appropriate activities, practicing public speaking as well as learning interview techniques and resume building skills. Program graduates who successfully complete the training and hit all of the required benchmarks will join fellow staff as paid counselors for two weeks of camp. During the paid internships, participants will receive $580 a week.
Unlike other camp sessions, an application is required for this program during the registration process. This application should be completed by the camp PARTICIPANT, not the parent/guardian. Applications for our CIT program will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all spaces are filled. Applicants will be contacted for a phone interview. This process mirrors our staff hiring process, preparing youth for both future employment and higher education opportunities.

CIT participants will enjoy sleeping under the stars in the fresh air.
- The sleeping area is gender neutral.
