This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


This summer, CITs will have a day to do community service projects in town as well as have an opportunity to lead activities at our summer camps and learn the skills needed to be a counselor in the future. This program is designed for teens who are interested in working with children and want to be camp counselors in the future. CITs will be responsible for planning and leading activities along with assisting camp groups. 

Structure:
The week of June 24th, we will offer a one week CIT training. For the remainder of the summer, those that participated in our one week training or the 2023 CIT program can register to be CITs for the remaining weeks of the summer (space limited per week). During these CIT Optional Weeks, CITs will be assigned to groups and will assist counselors in creating crafts, leading games, and making camp fun for all the campers.
