The counselor-in-training (CIT) program is designed to give rising 10^th graders an opportunity for a step-up from being a camper to being a staff member. There are only 32 CIT spaces – 16 for girls and 16 for boys. CIT's attend two regular sessions (sessions 2 and 3 OR sessions 5 and 6), going home in between sessions. They live together in a Byrd House and actively participate in camp life. CIT's may be assigned to work with a tent of campers under the direction of a counselor and junior counselor or in an activity area of interest (arts and crafts, waterfront, Christian formation, etc.) under the director of that area. There are numerous opportunities for CIT's to learn different areas of camp leadership. CIT's also participate as a team in special training designed specifically to develop leadership skills and prepare them to take on more responsibility as a staff member.

CIT's pay a reduced camp fee and in exchange will receive the opportunity of a lifetime to make great friends, grow spiritually, and develop leadership skills.  Registration is by the regular camp registration form and is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis - there is not an application process.

Rising 10^th graders may also apply to be junior counselors; however, due to the number of JC applicants, older candidates who meet the qualifications will be given preference.

Update: The CIT sessions are full for girls. You can register to be put on the waiting list. There are still openings for boys.
