Counselor In Training Program (CIT)

Our Counselor In Training (CIT) program is the step in between being a camper and volunteer summer staff and is the lead up and preparations for  the Discipleship Leadership Program. This is a  1 to 2-year program designed to develop campers entering Grades 8 and 9 into confident, compassionate leaders.  Our Counselors-in-Training (CITs) learn how to harness their  leadership qualities as well as new skills that will help them take on meaningful roles at camp, at home, at school, and in their communities.  This program is a blend of training/mentoring, helping at camp and still having the option to participate in select camper activites. 

This program runs from 7:45am - 4:30pm, it is not overnight. Runs concurrent with Summer Camp

 There is an application process for the Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program. Admission to the CIT program is limited and acceptance is not guaranteed. Applicants must be entering the 8th grade for year one and the 9th grade for year two. Applicants must attend a minimum of 4 weeks each year. Those who can make longer commitments and those who attended at least 4 weeks the previous summer may receive priority in acceptance to the program this year. Applicants must also be available for some online training calls via Discord platform prior to camp starting.

Applicants will need to fill out an application form and interview with the Camp Coordinators.  Filling out an application form starts the process, but does not guarantee you will be accepted. You will not be charged until accepted. Deadline to Apply is April 30th, 2025
