YMCA Camp Kenan - Counselor In Training (CIT)

The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is a transformative leadership experience designed for teenagers who are ready to take the next step in their camp journey. This immersive program equips participants with essential skills in teamwork, communication, and responsibility while fostering personal growth and confidence. CITs work closely with experienced counselors and camp staff, gaining hands-on experience in leading activities, mentoring younger campers, and managing daily camp responsibilities. Through interactive workshops, team-building challenges, and real-world leadership opportunities, participants develop a strong foundation in youth development and camp operations. Perfect for teens looking to enhance their leadership abilities, build lifelong friendships, and make a positive impact on others, the CIT program is more than just training—it's a pathway to becoming a role model and future camp leader.
