Campers who have completed the CIT program (depending on experience and performance) may be eligible to apply for a staff position at LINX Camps as rising 11th graders. Typically applicants must be entering 12th grade or college to work at LINX Camps.

This is a four week minimum program which begins with a week of training designed to help teens excel, followed by a minimum of three weeks of experience in the field (a camp group). Teens may add on as many additional field weeks as they would like! Our four week CIT program requirement gives growing leaders their first taste of an internship opportunity as they work long enough to see the impact they can make on campers.

• Week One - with certified staff trainers and experts.
• Week Two and beyond - in the field with campers under the supervision of veteran counselors and teachers with additional afternoon training sessions and periods reserved for fun and games.

CITs are not included in our published staff to camper ratios. CITs are not responsible for the leadership, direction or discipline of camper groups. CITs positions are training positions and participants will primarily assist with activities as requested and directed. The CIT Coordinator is responsible for daily assignments, supervision and training of all CITs.

The CIT day consists of:

• Three to four periods (including lunch) working under the direction of a LINX Camps Head Counselor or LINX/LX-trained Specialist. The CITs will assist the lead counselor while training younger campers in the latest coaching techniques or general camp activities
• After lunch, they will have a choice to stay with the group or join other CITs for two optional periods of daily leadership training led by a senior member of the LINX Camps team in which CITs learn about: Being a counselor, taking on leadership roles, handling difficult situations, teamwork, peer meditation, conflict resolution, character development, and team building

CITs are required to do one week of CIT Training prior to any other CIT weeks. They do not have to be consecutive. Field options include:

• All Star Sports
• Basketball
• Dance
• Flag Football
• General Camp
• Science

The rate is $469 per week.
