Teen Leadership Programs

Counselor-in-Training Program

Young Adults 14-16 years old

Cost: $500 for 4 weeks plus $20 yearly registration fee

Dates: July 11 – August 5, 2022

Counselor-in-Training

Young adults interested in making a positive impact on children are ideal candidates for our innovative Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program. CITs explore potential career paths involving children and prepare for possible future work as a camp counselor. The CIT program covers leadership development, behavioral training, motivating campers, portfolio development, job application and interview training, ropes course belay training, and basic First Aid, as well as an equestrian program workshop. The first half of the program consists of hands-on training. During the second half, CITs are placed within groups under the leadership of seasoned counselors to experience being a counselor.

NOTE: CITs will complete an interview and must express a strong interest in working with children in order to be considered.
