Purpose

CITs serve as a bridge between campers and staff. CITs gain valuable counseling skills needed to ensure a smooth transition to future staff positions. Successful completion of this program may lead to a Counselor position the following year.

The CIT program is not for everyone. Candidates must be ready and willing to put the needs and interests of campers ahead of their own.

The CIT program is for those interested in helping to bring the magic of camp to our campers. There is an expectation of increased maturity and ability to be a positive role model. CITs are monitored and evaluated by all staff. Evaluations are a basis for hiring as a Counselor for the following summer.

CITs can register for any number of our nine weekly sessions. CITs will meet every day with the Camp Director. Topics include orientation of camp, emergency procedures, camp policies, child abuse prevention, age-appropriate discipline etc. CITs will spend the rest of the day shadowing counselors and working with a group of campers. CIT curriculum and program goals will be met weekly.
Goals
1. To develop methods of positive leadership.
2. To assist teens in the transition from camper to staff member.
3. To provide new and expanded opportunities for individual physical, mental and spiritual growth in a camp setting.
4. To assist individuals in transferring newly acquired skills to a group setting.
5. To provide a foundation of future camp staff whose philosophy is consistent with the vision of the camp and the YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston.
