Counselor-in-Training Program
Our Counselor-in-Training Program is designed to help rising 10th-12th graders develop and grow their leadership skills and give them a glimpse of what it's like to be a counselor. CITs will live in a cabin of up to 15 campers and 2 staff members. They will meet throughout the week to learn more about interacting with campers and serving as a counselor. They will get to practice what they've learned by leading activities, providing support to campers, leading devotions, and more. The goal of the program is to teach important skills participants can use in a variety of situations.
Summer 2027 CIT Program
CIT Applications for Summer 2027 will open in the new year!
PLEASE NOTE: This summer there is a fee for each week based on our Tiered Pricing Model: Tier I: $250, Tier II: $350, Tier III: $450, but if you need financial assistance, reach out to our director at sam@campweed.org. Do not let finances prevent you from applying, our scholarship program is plentiful! All participants will receive 40 hours of community service credit for each week they serve as a CIT.
Because this is a program that exists to help youth develop and grow their own leadership skills, this application MUST be filled out by the youth planning to participate in this program, NOT by a parent/guardian.
We expect that CITs will:
Approach the program with a ready-to-learn attitude
Treat everyone at camp with respect
Come to camp ready to serve
Have an open mind toward information and others and listen actively
Fully participate in the program and aim to make the most of it
Look for opportunities to go above and beyond what’s asked
Lean on their faith and strive to grow it
Be open and honest in communicating their needs/wants
Hold fellow CITs and staff members accountable
Follow all camp and program rules
Serve as incredible role models for campers
Participants will receive 40 hours of community service for each week they serve as a CIT.
