Counselor-in-Training (C.I.T.)

FIRST YEAR COUNSELOR IN TRAINING

The first two sessions of camp feature a mandatory four-week leadership training, where participants develop skills and peer relationships in a fun camp environment. Evaluations are conducted throughout the four week training session, and those who successfully complete the session will be invited to work as a C.I.T. for the remaining four weeks of camp.

As a C.I.T., participants gain experience working with different ages and environments at Camp Y-Ki, Camp Mini, and Sports Camp. In addition to working with younger campers, C.I.T.’s enjoy special activities including field trips, guest speakers, and more!

SECOND YEAR AND BEYOND, COUNSELOR IN TRAINING

C.I.T.’s who have already successfully completed one year of our C.I.T. program will now enroll in our Second Year and Beyond program. This program will have a first session training refresher with evaluations. The following sessions will be more hands-on with scheduling, and working with leadership staff to plan and implement activities. This will enable the more seasoned C.I.T.’s to have the opportunity to practice their skills as future counselors and leaders.
