About This Activity
Description
Our Counselor in Training (CIT) program just keeps getting better. CIT’s are enrolled in a four week program. The first two weeks you will go through training similar to our full-time staff. Classroom and practical lessons will help you understand how camp is able to create a memorable experience for every camper. During your time with us, you will participate in training sessions, we will assist with the development of practical skills that will transfer to a host of future roles, from daily life through college to positions of employment. Under the guidance of our dedicated leadership training staff, CITs will be exposed to a range of scenarios that will prepare you to be a senior camper with leadership responsibilities. Specific areas of attention include creating positive first impressions, the cultivation of friendships, customer service and the role of the counselor in assisting camper. Successful participants in the CIT program are actively encouraged to apply for camp positions the following summer. There will be opportunities for CIT’s to receive certifications. Two of the weeks will include classroom and practical lessons along with team building activities. The other two weeks the camper will be embedded in the program and assigned to a camp counselor for hands on learning.
