What is a Counselor in Training (CIT)?
CITs are an important part of our summer camp program. They help counselors monitor campers, set up games and activities, and learn about becoming a camp counselor. This is an exciting opportunity for personal growth while contributing to the community and fulfilling volunteer service hours. CITs volunteer at Mixville Adventure Camp (8:45a.m.-3:45p.m.).

Requirements:
CITs must...
* Be available to work two full weeks of camp.
* Enjoy active outdoor activities and working with children.
* Be entering 9th, 10th, or 11th grade in the fall.
* Participate in all aspects of camp and come with a positive attitude.
* Be a role model for campers and always behave appropriately.
* Follow all camp rules.
* Act in a safe and responsible manner with campers.
* Wear sneakers and CIT shirt while at camp always.
* Remember that serving as a CIT is a privilege and a responsibility.

Dismissal:
The Parks and Recreation Department’s staff reserves the right to contact a CIT’s parent/guardian and to release any CIT who does not fulfill their contract obligations and/or behaves in an inappropriate manner. Serving as a Counselor in Training is a privilege. Improper behavior causes danger to the children at camp. Misbehavior will not be tolerated.
