Why this Experience?
Modeled after the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, our CIT Leadership program creates a progressive and hands on camp experience. With the support of your counseling staff, you will be encouraged to”choose your own adventure" in identifying areas for personal growth. In addition to your own journey, you will begin to understand how camp and the world are connected and ways that you can become a leader in both.
WEEK 1
DISCOVER
You will experience the traditional camp activities! You will lay the foundation of camp leadership through team building, self-reflection, and identifying areas of personal growth.
WEEK 2
CONNECT
You will establish connections with the camp community. Utilizing your knowledge, camp resources, and counseling staff, you will design and lead a camp activity from start to finish. You will develop techniques to connect with the world around you and empower campers to do the same.
WEEK 3
TAKE ACTION
You will gain hands on experience engaging with campers in units. By applying the skills you've learned in weeks 1 & 2 you will start to be aware of counselor responsibilities. You will begin to be a camp leader and learn how to harness your new leadership skills outside of camp.
