Come prepared to play, work, and discover with Ted Baumhauer, Ed.D., how you can become a better leader.

The Counselor In Training (CIT) Program
(15 year olds)
This program prepares young adults for future work with children such as a career in education. Throughout the session, CITs will work on leadership, safety and skill development. The CIT works closely with an experienced counselor, under the direction of the Camp Director. CITs are responsible for performing defined tasks that will be reviewed and evaluated by the staff and directors.
At the age of 16, they are eligible for a position as a junior counselor (this is an eight week summer commitment). All applicants should write a letter to the directors expressing interest. Applicants will be screened from these letters.
2 four week sessions are available (no splitting weeks).
