The day for Counselors In Training consists of:

• 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 learn about: Being a counselor, taking on leadership roles, handling difficult situations, teamwork, peer meditation, conflict resolution, character development and team building
• Traditional camp games and activities (i.e. rock climbing, archery, boating and games)

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.

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 cost is $409 per week ($100 deposit required for registration - deposits are deducted from the final balances due).
