Join us for a leadership development program designed for older teens, entering 9th and 10th Grade (CIT Program) as well as 7th and 8th Grade (Jr. CIT Program), who want to learn to become counselors. Through workshops and hands-on experience, you’ll learn about group leadership, program planning, communication, instructional activities, working with kids, health and safety, creating a positive environment, and facilitating adventure teambuilding. CITs and Jr. CIT’s gain in-depth skills in a special interest area such as golf, tennis, water safety, soccer, team sports and regular camp activities.

Being a CIT is a unique experience—you learn and grow as a leader while having fun.

You’ll learn to be a positive role model for younger campers, and explore being a counselor.

CITs and Jr. CITs assume all camp leadership roles by designing and leading some activities and special events. Your schedule includes time to work directly with younger campers in activities under a bilingual staff supervision, as well as time to relax with other CITs and Jr. CITs.

Each CIT and Jr. CIT will be assigned to a counselor and a group of children. We accept a limited number of CITs in order to provide a strong program. We use an application process, ensuring the CIT and Jr. CIT program is a good fit for both you and us.

The application deadline is May 1st, 2009. Acceptance into the program is based on an application and interview. A commitment of 4 weeks is required for CITs.

CITs and Jr. CITs are provided with a staff shirt, appropriate training and upon completion, a certificate of participation, that entitles them for community service hours (Please check with your school).

CITs who successfully complete the program have the opportunity to apply for a paid junior counselor or full staff position for the summer of 2010.

JR. CIT Program: Entering 7th and 8th Grade.
CIT Program: Entering 9th and 10th Grade.
