Summer 2010 - CIT (Counselors-in-Training)
Ages 13 to 15
$65 per week 9 am to 3 pm
If you enjoy interacting with younger children and would like to work in a
summer camp setting, we have a program for you! If you have previously been a CIT, please read the note below. The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program requires a TWO-WEEK commitment.
We work with you as you learn to lead groups of children and follow directions
from your mentor teacher. Each
week you are assigned to a different workshop, matching your interests
and skills when possible, with the younger groups ages 4-6 or 6-8. In
some circumstances, we may place you with older groups. You should
peruse the website to see what is being offered and to choose what
classes you might be interested in helping. We check in with you throughout the day to make sure you're on the right track
and listen to your input. At the end of the session, you will receive a written assessment from your mentor teacher. Parents needing extended care can sign up for a reduced extended day fee (50% off).

***NOTE to PARENTS: ALL of the requirements above are FOR THE CANDIDATE to complete NOT THE PARENT. If there are inquiries, the candidate should email us, NOT THE PARENT. Been a CIT already? Those candidates who have previously been CITS will not need to be interviewed and do NOT need to send a resume, but they do need to send another letter of interest explaining why they want to repeat this experience. So resume, no. Letter, yes. Registration, yes.
Parents, this is the beginning of learning how to apply for a position, finding out what the requirements are, and following through. Let's give them a chance to try out their wings! So give them the information and let them go.....let them grow. We're here to help them.
