Counselors in Training
Are you ready for a challenge? This two-week program is designed for motivated rising 9th and 10th graders interested in developing their own leadership styles and becoming counselors.
 
CITs will spend one week learning skills and tools surrounding child behavior and leadership. For the secomd week, they will be placed in a Summer at Park program and partnered with an experienced mentor who will coach, encourage, and teach these aspiring counselors how to lead a group of campers. Their mentors will provide periodic evaluations that will encourage and support each CIT to improve their social, supervisory, and leadership skills.
 
Successful participants may be encouraged to apply for a counselor position in future summers.
 
During the registration process, only CITs that have added themselves to the waitlist will be considered for the program.
Prior to acceptance into the program, participants should anticipate submitting an essay outlining why they want to participate in the CIT program and meeting with the Director of Summer at Park for an interview.
