Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program | Ages 15-16.
A unique program created for teenagers focused on developing strong leaders. It helps prepare young adults for the next phase in their lives-college and the workplace. Summer 2025 will be our thirteenth year for this program, and it's been a resounding success - many of those who have participated returned this past summer as part of our camp staff.
