Counselor-in-Training Applications
What is a CIT? CITs (Counselors-in-Training) are young adults ages 12-15 who assist camp staff with daily activities while developing valuable leadership and job skills. CITs play an important role at CAMP 510 by supporting younger campers with creative projects, making friends, and transitioning between activities. They are encouraged to take initiative, work collaboratively, and follow directions from camp staff. Throughout the program, CITs gain hands-on experience in communication, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and project leadership. They also have opportunities to lead games, teach creative projects, and participate in all aspects of camp!
Who can apply as a CIT at CAMP 510? CITs are typically 12-15 years old or entering grades 7-10. We encourage teens interested in gaining work experience to participate in the CIT program before applying for a Counselor position.
Why should I apply? The CIT program is a fun and rewarding opportunity to build leadership skills, gain valuable work experience, and serve as a role model for younger campers. CITs develop new friendships, strengthen their confidence, and learn skills that will benefit them in future jobs and leadership roles.
