Leadership/CIT Program

Our Leadership/CIT program for 15 and 16 year olds is a great opportunity for teens to develop leadership skills, responsibility, independence and get hands-on experience working with children in a nurturing, inclusive and supportive environment. CITs will be provided with mentorship, guidance and feedback on a daily basis and participate in a weekly CIT meeting at lunch-time.

Each CIT will be paired with a team consisting of at least one Senior Counselor and one Junior Counselor. CITs will work alongside these more experienced counselors on a daily basis. Lunch included daily.

Ages 15-16 (We may accept 14 year olds into this program on a case-by-case basis).

Yes, CITs will support counselors in activities they are interested in. Closer to camp, a preference list and questionnaire will be provided to each CIT.

We want CITs to do what they love and share their skills and passions with campers while also continuing to learn from seasoned instructors! CITs will be guided by junior and senior counselors who specialize in the activity they are assigned.

In addition to making a valuable impact on campers and their summer, CIT’s will engage in group activities to socialize, learn and grow from each other. Under the auspices of junior and senior counselors, CITs will engage in specialty groups that focus on collaborative discussions, service, and leadership in topics of their choice.

The CIT / Leadership experience will culminate in an in-depth capstone project counselors can be proud of. Counselors will also be individually recognized for their contribution to camp as role models.
