Great campers make great counselors! The Counselor in Training (CIT) program at Camp T is designed to help train the next generation of amazing Camp Counselors. This is a progressive program, with participants taking on more responsibility each year.
CIT 1s must be 15 years of age or older, and will spend 2 weeks at camp. As a CIT 1, you will live in a cabin with other similarly-aged campers for both weeks. CIT 1s meet with the CIT Director daily, and learn about what it takes to be a camp counselor. CIT 1s help lead activities, assist counselors, work in the camp kitchen, and do a service project for camp. There is still plenty of time to be a camper and have fun, too!
CIT 2s must be 16 years of age or older, AND must have completed the CIT 1 program at Camp T. CIT 2s attend camp for 2 and a half weeks (Weeks 1, 2, and mini camp). For three days of the first week, the CIT 2s go on a camping adventure with the CIT Director. They will travel to an off-site location, stay in tents for 3 nights, and prepare their own meals over the fire. Upon their return to Camp, the CIT 2s have the opportunity to live in cabins with younger campers, assisting the cabin counselors, leading activities, and helping in many different roles around camp. The CIT 2 off-site camping experience provides an amazing opportunity for bonding among the CITs!
Please note that participation in the CIT program does not guarantee future employment at Camp T.
