Mission Statement
"To provide an environment where teens can learn leadership skills, develop a positive self-image and become involved members of the community so that they may be better prepared to lead fulfilling and productive adult lives."
CIT volunteers must be a minimum of 14 years old (a week before program start date) or entering the 9th grade and a maximum of 16 years old. The CIT Volunteer program gives teens an opportunity to work with children in various recreation programs.
The different areas in which to be a Counselor in Training:
• Aquatics
• Daycamp
• Kids Corner

Due to the increasing number of participants in the Counselor-In-Training Program, applicants will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis AND summer availability.
