What is Counselor-In-Training (CIT)? A challenging and fun program that builds skills and experiences to prepare campers to be future camp counselors. The Counselor-In-Training program teaches decision making, goal setting, teamwork, flexibility, and empathy. It provides practical, meaningful experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. CITs gain expertise in leadership, program planning, and implementation, as well as working with younger campers. CIT is an earned leadership award with Girl Scouts.
IMPORTANT! In order to participate in the Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program, campers must successfully complete an application and interview, even if they have previously participated in our CIT program. All CIT I and CIT II candidates should first register for their preferred session. Prospective CIT I and CIT II campers must then complete and submit an application for their preferred session. Applications will be available online at time of registration. CIT I and CIT II candidates will be contacted to schedule an interview after their application is received. A refund will be issued if a camper is not accepted into the CIT program.
Counselor-in-Training (CIT) II is for 11th and 12th graders to learn how to be a camp counselor. Girls will participate in and help facilitate most camp activities under the supervision of certified staff learning what makes a great camp counselor along the way!

Counselor-In-Training (CIT) I is for rising 9th-12th graders to learn how to be a camp counselor and build on their leadership skills. CIT is an earned leadership award with Girl Scouts and is one of our most popular programs! Campers stay for 2 weeks in a three-season lodge on either a bunk bed or metal spring cot. Each camper is trained in leadership, team building, and partnership exercises. CIT I campers stay over one weekend, have access to laundry facilities, and are allowed to bring snacks and electronics. While at camp, CIT I campers will be mentoring younger campers but will also have the opportunity to participate in traditional camp activities.
