CIT stands for Counselor-In-Training. Usually CITs are campers who can’t get enough of camp and who want to learn how to be a leader, build various camp skills, and have the summer of their lives. CITs are energetic, enthusiastic and set the standard for camp spirit. With more freedom than younger campers and plenty of exciting and fun challenges, being a CIT is an enriching and unforgettable experience.
 
CITs will all receive extensive leadership and childcare training and experience, and will be offered the chance to become certified in first-aid and as a life-guard. They will also choose one or more areas of camp where they will spend time learning and teaching with one of the talented members of the camp staff.
   
The camp experience and knowledge of traditions the CITs have developed will shine and be recognized as they participate in running evening activities, camp-wide programs such as Carnival Day and Olympic Day, help lead trips and coach sports teams, run campfires, and more. At the beginning of the summer the CITs will decide on a challenging group project which they will work on throughout the summer.

CITs play a key role at camp meals by serving food. This will give them a chance to work as a group, have fun and gain new experiences, such as serving meals at camp, while helping make the dining hall fun for the entire camp



Don’t worry! We remember that even CITs are only human. They will have daily scheduled free time, as well as a supervised day off every week. Once a week after a sleep-in, the CITs will hop in a camp van with their friendly and cool
CIT directors and head for somewhere fun nearby like Plattsburg, Burlington, Lake Placid, Montreal or even the Great Escape for a day of yummy food, movies, shopping, roller-coasters and other activities. CITs will help decide
the details of these days off at the beginning of the summer.
