The Camp Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is a leadership development program. It is an educational opportunity for youth currently in 9th grade or older to gain experience and knowledge in our Day Camp setting at our Smilow-Burroughs Clubhouse. We aim to facilitate the growth of future leaders and help mold CIT participants into outstanding camp counselors.
To participate in the program, applicants must fill out the application form and are required to schedule an interview prior to their acceptance. Participants must commit to at least 2 consecutive weeks for full days of camp, with camp hours running 9:15am-4:15pm.
Each CIT will work side by side with a camp counselor helping to develop daily camp related activities. The CIT will have assignments and responsibilities during the camp day. The camp counselor and camp directors will guide the CIT with these activities.
CITs must attend the CIT Training, show proof of a medical physical examination (within the last 3 years), proof of up to date immunizations and undergo a background check. Payment and forms must be submitted a week prior to session.
