Counselor in Training, CIT (formerly called Junior Staff)
Counselors in Training (CITs) are youth with a strong Christian testimony typically aged 15-17 years, who volunteer one or more weeks of their summer vacation to come and serve. Lots of things that happen at camp each week are made possible by these youth who are willing to serve God at camp each summer.
CITs are given a schedule that includes time to help the counselors and care for the campers, time to help the handyman, time to offer their hands to help teach swimming lessons or hold a board for a camper to nail during hand crafts, and time to help out in the kitchen, serving and cleaning up one meal each day. They have time before dinner to study God's word together during CIT devotions. CITs are encouraged to give one evening devotion for the campers in their cabin. They are also responsible for being in the cabin at night and in the early morning when the counselor will have to leave for staff devotions or to take care of other things. Being a CIT is a demanding job, including hiking on irregular terrain, swimming, canoeing, leading active camp & sports games, and occasionally sleeping on the ground. The role of CIT is also very rewarding as you watch campers grow in their knowledge of God, His creation, and His love for them.
CITs volunteer for one week sessions at camp and are encouraged to try to come to camp for 2 or 3 such sessions over the course of the summer season. CITs are given free room & board, but are required to pay the $25 weekly registration fee as as part of the on-line camper registration process.
