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, 2024 & have completed 7th grade by June 2025) 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 Days – Friday, June 27th and  Saturday, June 28th – are mandatory.
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 two-day 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 7 to July 18
Session 2: July 21 to August 1
Session 3: August 4 to August 15
