Teen Leadership Programs

Counselor-In-Training I
age 15 and older

The CIT-I program is the first in our progressive leadership program for teens. The first week of the CIT-I session will focus on effective leadership, teamwork, communication, problem solving, decision making, and how to be a positive role model to youth.  CIT-Is spend the second week of their session putting their skills to the test as a "shadow" to a camp counselor working with a group of campers, planning activities, and assisting in camp programs.

CIT-I Sessions
Weeks 1-2 June 20-July 2
Weeks 4-5 July 18-30
Weeks 7-8 August 8-20

 

Counselor-In-Training II
age 16 and older

This intermediate leadership program builds upon the curriculum of the CIT-I program. The first week is spent engaging in a combination of counselor shadowing and leadership sessions designed to develop further leadership skills and responsible camp counselor practices. CIT-IIs will then spend their second week as an assistant to a head camp counselor helping with all areas of providing a quality camp experience for our campers.

CIT-II Sessions
Weeks 3-4 July 11-23
Weeks 6-7 August 1-13

There is no application or interview process for CITs in 2010.

CIT-Is and CIT-IIs will receive a leadership survey with their confirmation packet that must be returned to Camp prior to your leadership session. 

All Teen Leaders return home on the weekends unless registered for the Weekend Stayover program.
