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.

- Three periods working under the direction of a LINX Head Counselor in one of our junior camp groups
- Lunch and reflection on group experience

- 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.
