Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Program


The purpose of the Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Program is to prepare young adults for a future camp counselor position. The two-week program teaches skills for working with children and builds personal confidence in dealing with diabetes. The CIT Program is a transitional stage from camper to staff. Applicants must be at least 17 years old and/or have completed their junior year of high school. An application packet must be completed and all applicants will receive an interview. Application packets will be available the first week of March 2007.
