CITs typically serve one camp per summer. As space permits, some CITs may be offered the chance to serve two weekend camps. A camp does not have more than two CITs on staff.

CITs are to assist adult counselors and directors with various camp activities.

CITs are to act as COUNSELORS and not campers.

CITs may be sent home prior to the end of the event for significant infractions of the rules and policies according to the discretion of the director(s) in consultation with Dave Carr and/or a designee.

The WKDH site team will choose CIT candidates. The names of those selected to serve as CITs will then be forwarded to the directors of Camp 101, Mini Camp, and Junior Camp to utilize the gifts of these youth.
