The CIT Program has two volunteer levels. For the one-week summer term, CITs live in housing separate from the campers and pay a program fee equal to one-half the camper fee. The program offers a leadership training curriculum, mentoring phase and entertaining activities.
This application is for past campers ages 15 and 16 (as of Sept. 1 of the Camp season for which you are applying) who wish to be considered for the first level of the CIT Program.
