Counselor in Training (CIT)

Counselors in Training (CITs) are high school age individuals who want to spend the summer learning and getting acquanited with counseling. CITs are individuals who are in their first year of wanting to pursue counseling or are wanting more training at the CIT level. CITs will be counseling our day campers as well as assisting on our support staff.

Camp Counselor

Our Camp Counselors are at the backbone of serving our summer campers. Camp Counselors will spend Sunday through Friday forming relationships and facilitating fun with their family group of campers.

Counseling assignments are decided by our Director staff weekly based on the needs of the week as well as the comfort level of staff.
