Counselor In Training Program

LINX offers a limited number of Counselor In Training (CIT) positions for rising 9th and 10th graders during selected weeks of the summer. The CIT Program is designed for the 'best of the best' . . . young adults who are leaders that welcome challenges. CITs must be great with kids, have tons of energy, be willing to work hard and like to have fun.

TYPICAL DAY

The day for Counselors In Training consists of:

• Three periods working under the direction of a LINX Head Counselor in one of our junior camp groups
• Lunch and reflection on group experience
• Two periods of daily leadership training led by a senior member of the LINX Camps team in which CITs and LITs learn about being a counselor, taking leadership roles, dealing with difficult situations, teamwork, etc.
• Traditional camp games and activities (i.e. rock climbing, archery, boating and more)
• Optional swim session!

CITs have the option of bringing their own lunch or signing up for the LINX Lunch Box.
