Our Counselors in Training is a 4-week residential program. Our CIT program begins with two weeks of on-the-job training alongside experienced mentors. By designing, implementing, and evaluating large group activities, participants gain proficiency in some of the biggest challenges a counselor might face. They also spend time developing age-appropriate activities, practicing public speaking as well as learning interview techniques and resume building skills.
Program graduates who successfully complete the training and hit all of the required benchmarks will join fellow staff as paid counselors for the final two weeks of camp.
Applications for our CIT program will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all ten spaces are filled. We will contact all applicants to schedule a phone interview. This process mirrors our staff hiring process, preparing youth for both future employment and higher education opportunities.
