Kroehler YMCA - CIT (Counselor-in-Training)

Too old for day camp, but too young to be a counselor? If you are interested in being a camp counselor someday, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss! Counselor In Training (CIT) is a program for teens desiring future leadership roles as summer camp counselors at YMCA camps. The CIT program is an advanced program for those who have attended camp for at least one summer. The training provides an interactive experiential learning environment for teens going into grades 9 and 10. The philosophy behind the program is to provide an inside view into how camp runs, and the responsibilities of the leadership behind camp. CIT's will learn much of the same material covered during our summer seasonal staff training and they will "shadow" a senior counselor, assisting them in program activities, lessons, field trips, and special event days. The CIT program is a great opportunity for exceptional campers to develop their leadership skills. Our goal is to provide our CIT's with positive experiences, which will enhance their personal growth and build self-esteem. Camp hours are 9 am - 4pm. Extended hours are available upon request. Contact our office for an application. YMCA Members save $30 per session!
