COUNSELOR IN TRAINING

CIT’s will go home on the weekend. The price includes both weeks. Our CIT program is divided up into the following manner:

CIT I A & B (Year 1)
The first year of the program is designed to help the CITs feel comfortable in their new role at camp. The CIT Director holds daily meetings that cover the curriculum, involve group exercises, and give the new leaders a time to ask questions and discuss possible solutions.

CIT II A & B (Year 2)
The second year of the program is desinged to give the CIT’s advanced tools and knowledge for leadership in the camp setting.  During their second week as a CIT II, they will lead a Day Camp cabin.
