Leadership Programs for ages 13 -17
CIT Program:
In addition to our regular camp experience, we offer teens a
Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program. This program offers the opportunity
for teenagers to gain leadership experience while enjoying the full
camp program. CITs are included in pre-camp training, staff meetings,
and CIT meetings. They are personally led by the Directors with conflict
resolution case studies and leadership skills.
This program is great for a teenager who is friendly, can maintain a
positive attitude, and who likes working with younger children. CIT’s
are assigned a group of younger campers and will help the senior leader
lead the group, assist with activities and organize games. The number of
CIT’s accepted to this program is limited to 8 per week. CIT’s pay
discounted camp fees depending upon the number of years in the program.
There are no additional charges for the leadership training.
Teens interested in the CIT program are encouraged to contact the
camp office at (310)392-3100 for more information and availability.
