Young adults interested in making a positive impact on children are ideal candidates for our innovative Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program. CITs explore potential career paths involving children and prepare for possible future work as a camp counselor.
The CIT program covers leadership development, behavioral training, motivating campers, portfolio development, job application and interview training, ropes course belay training, and basic First Aid, as well as an equestrian program workshop.
The first half of the program consists of hands-on training. During the second half, CITs are placed within groups under the leadership of seasoned counselors to experience being a counselor. The program includes a CIT Overnight Adventure Trip planned by the CITs.
We will have four Equestrian CIT spots that will get hands on training at the barn.
NOTE: CITs must complete an interview with the CIT Coordinator and express a strong interest in working with children.
