Counselor in Training Program
Camp Ridgedale features a unique way for campers who are no longer able to participate in our Standard Elementary programming to stay involved and gain valuable leadership skills: The Counselor in Training (CIT) Program! Upon completion of the CIT program, campers will have earned recorded volunteer hours and a letter of recommendation from their CIT Coordinator.
The CIT Program is split into two sections to best suit your camper’s age-specific needs: CIT Juniors & CITs.
The CIT Junior program exists with middle school CITs in mind, structured for campers who have completed grades 6-8 by May 2025. CIT Juniors will experience a balanced camp experience with fun themes, field trips, guest speakers, and pool time, as well as time to learn and serve with Camp Ridgedale staff! Their week will be made up of mixed programming that offers time for fun and goofing off with friends, and time for stepping into a leadership role for our younger campers with guidance from our kind and capable Camp Counselors and senior CITs.
The CIT Program exists for high schoolers in mind, who have the ability to help lead campers alongside a Counselor, but aren’t old enough to be hired on as a Counselor just yet. This program is available to campers who have completed grades 9-12 by May 2025. This is a great way for your students to gain leadership skills, experience working with children, to practice both teamwork and individual initiative, and to have a fun time doing it!
