Counselor in Training (CIT) Application

Counselor In Training (CIT) Program Application

Program Overview

Our Counselor-In-Training program combines the fun of camp with leadership and on the job training. The CIT program is a unique opportunity for motivated young people to develop the necessary skills to be role models in our camp community. CIT campers stay for two weeks, learning the ropes of living and serving at CSM. The first week is focused on creating successful peer relationships, developing skills that are needed to work in our camp environment, and discovering personal gifts and strengths. During week two, CIT campers will have the opportunity to use their strengths in a cabin, at day camp, or in the kitchen, gaining hands-on experience and a glimpse into being a CSM staff member.
