CIT (4+ weeks) | 9th Grade

The LINX Camps CIT program has a three-step application process:

• Read through the remaining tabs on this page to fully understand the commitment and opportunities
• Submit an application
• Interview

Participation in our CIT program does not guarantee placement as a LINX Camps counselor, or team member, at any point the future.
Campers who distinguished themselves while completing the CIT program are encouraged to apply for a junior staff position at LINX Camps the following summer, which include Junior Counselor, Operations, or Office Runner. Please know that historically there are more CIT graduates than junior staff positions available. CIT graduates who apply for, but aren't offered, a junior staff position are welcome to apply for a staff position the following year!

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! Our program begins with a week of training, with certified staff trainers and experts, which is designed to help teens excel. Then, there is 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.
Please note, the four+ weeks of the program do not have to be consecutive, although it is beneficial to immediately follow the training week with a field week to solidify learnings.

• Training weeks offered = June 26th or July 10th
• Field weeks offered = July 3rd onward

CITs assist with activities as requested and directed. Our CIT Coordinator is responsible for the daily assignments, supervision, and training of all CITs.

• CITs are not responsible for the leadership, direction, or discipline of camper groups.
• CITs are not included in our published staff to camper ratios.

The CIT day consists of:

• Three to four periods (including lunch) working under the direction of LINX Camps staff. 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

The field options include:
