REGISTRATION OPEN NOW

Counselor in Training (CIT) Program
“Where Tomorrow’s Leaders Thrive Today”
Our CIT Program is open to teens who:
  • Are rising 9th or 10th graders 
  • Enjoy working with others and being active all day long
  • Want to make meaningful connections and lifetime memories
  • Are looking to develop leadership skills
  • Want to build confidence
  • Strive to be a positive role model
The camp environment provides a unique opportunity for youth to build leadership skills, particularly when interacting and supporting younger children. The objective of the program is to teach the general skills of leadership that can then be applied at school, home, and throughout the community.

The CIT program is separated into three 2-week-long programs during the 6-week Fearless Summer Day Camp program, which runs Monday through Friday. CIT’s will be expected to work from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 pm each day. 
Session 1: June 24 - July 5 (2 weeks / No Camp on July 4)
Session 2: July 8- July 19 (2 weeks)
Session 3: July 22 - August 2 (2 Weeks)

CIT FAQs:
$200 per session (2 Weeks)
Students interested in the CIT program must apply and be interviewed and will be notified of acceptance by June 1. Payment is due in full at the time of registration. CIT fees are non-refundable and a credit will only be issued if and when a waitlist is formed. Registration must be made in advance, as we allow a maximum of 5 CITs per session, and spots fill quickly.
