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.

Offered Weeks 1-2; 4-5; 7-8

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

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.
Our Teen Leadership programs are progressive in nature and while we recommend beginning with the CIT-I program as a foundation, it is not mandatory.

Offered Weeks 3-4 or 6-7

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