Counselor-in-Training: The final step in the YMCA Resident Camp leadership program

48 DAYS UNTIL RESIDENT CAMP!

The final step for young leaders after YMCA Camp: Horsethief Reservoir's Leader-in-Training (LIT) Resident Camp is the Counselor-in-Training (CIT) camp.*

Counselor-In-Training is a Resident Camp program designed to give teens practical, hands-on experience in leadership. This program helps teens develop leadership skills that they can use throughout their lives to help others. We also help our campers identify goals and develop a plan to reach those goals. All our leadership development programs are a valuable learning experience for any teen who wants to develop and practice their leadership skills.

Our CIT program is intended for teens who aspire to be a camp counselor or work with children in the future. For those who wish to be a YMCA Resident Camp counselor, this is the transition from being a camper — when camp is all about you — to being a counselor — when you must make camp all about your campers. CITs must model and teach the YMCA values of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT and RESPONSIBILITY. CITs learn to effectively lead and work with children and are provided an excellent foundation to become a part of our Resident Camp staff.

Those CITs who receive the recommendation of their leaders will be invited to apply for a volunteer staff position for the next summer of camp.

* CIT candidates must apply for a space in this program.
