Leaders and Counselors In Training
LIT: Grades 9-10 | CIT: Grade 11
LIT: The Leaders-in-Training program will give teens the values of teamwork while enjoying several team building activities. Campers will be given opportunities to participate in service projects that leave a lasting impact their camp and the local community the Y serves. Additionally, they will be working closely with camp leadership staff to deliver programming to younger campers. This is a great transitional program for teens that still provides them with the ability to participate in several traditional camp activities, including swimming.
CIT: This hands-on Counselor-in-Training program is intended to provide teens with the opportunity to learn the basic responsibilities of being a camp counselor in a supportive environment. This four-week program provides the perfect mix of experiential learning, leadership, and fun for a memorable summer. Specialty workshops and team building exercises help build skills such as: collaboration, effective teamwork, public speaking, CPR and First Aid, and understanding stages of youth development. Each CIT will be provided the chance to put their newly learned skills into action assisting with both camper groups and instructional areas.

If selected, your teen will have the opportunity to work with Sports Camp directors and counselors to provide campers with the best summer sports experience ever! Each ambassador will be asked to teach or demonstrate a skill for the day’s sport and will be a positive role model for the campers. They will work in tandem with counselors to set up fields, prepare equipment, develop their own leadership skills, and model the YMCA’s core values of honesty, respect, caring, and responsibility.
