Counselors in Training

Counselors in Training Program

This program teaches teens to work with youth while earning community service hours. Each participant will attend mandatory training's that will cover topics like leadership, team building, supervision of children, inclusion, CPR/First Aid certification, and other specialized training's as necessary. Directly following the training week, CITs will be placed in a one-week volunteer opportunity in one of our camp programs. Placement in camp programs will depend upon each CIT's age (as listed below), demonstrated strengths, and the weekly needs of each camp program. CITs must pass a swim test for programs that frequent pools or the ocean.

For Volunteer Week, CITs may choose to work an AM, PM, or all-day shift for the duration of the week. After successfully completing this two-week program, CITs may be invited to apply to be a CIT Volunteer in our camp programs, providing them the opportunity to volunteer throughout the remainder of the summer.
