CIT (Counselor-in-Training) Program
For 13-15-Year-Olds 

Our CIT program gives kids ages 13-15 (must have turned 13 by December 1, 2025 & have completed 7th grade by June 2026) an opportunity to enjoy the camp atmosphere as tweens and teens in a supervised leadership capacity. The CITs will work intimately with the counselor and group they are assigned to – helping the counselor with general group management and offering activities that cultivate interest, tolerance and of course, fun for their campers. 

Our CIT Training Day – Saturday June, 6
Potential CITs must commit to those training days in order to apply for a CIT position this summer. No CIT applicant can work at the camp unless they have completed this training. 

CIT applicants will need to complete their own CIT Questionnaire and have an in-person interview with the camp director before they will be accepted into the CIT program. Tuition for this program is $200 per session and a regular, completed camper registration form is necessary once a CIT has been interviewed and accepted.

We are extremely excited about nurturing the next generation of Camp @ The Camp counselors!

Session 1: July 6 to July 17
Session 2: July 20 to July 31
