Counselor in Training
Ages 13-15 6/30-7/11 9:00am-3:30pm
Greg Martin will be taking over as CIT Director this year. He will insure that our CIT program is a hands-on training program. CIT is for 13-15 year olds who want to learn the skills necessary to be a great camp counselor. Participants will work with Greg in the classroom and within camp groups. After their training, they will be ready to join our staff to help make summer a memorable experience for the campers. This program runs from 7/10-7/20, from 9am-3:30pm. You must be able to commit for the entire program. The fee is $250.00. A second year C.I.T. is $100.00.
The program has grown by leaps and bounds. Applicants will be interviewed in the third week of May to select the best candidates for this program. Applicants should sign up on camp forms without payment before May 1 and will be given or sent by mail a CIT application. Payment will be accepted upon acceptance into the program.
The program covers: planning activities, teaching and modifying games, behavior modification, creativity, communication with parents, supervision at the waterfront, setting goals, active listening, working with younger campers, camp communication, what to do on a rainy day, team work and first aid.
The CIT’s will be exposed to the skills necessary to be a great counselor and have a chance to see if this kind of work is for them. In addition to the training, the CIT’s will participate in some CIT only recreational activities and may be asked to accompany day camp and mini camp on field trips.
