Counselor In Training Camps

Learning To Lead

Available Location(s): Ballantyne, Granite Street, Northlake

Our Counselor In Training Camp (CIT) is a leadership development Summer Camp for kids 13-15 years of age. The CIT Camp is designed to develop skills that apply to camp, sports, school and life.  Each participant will learn the fundamentals of leading games, sports drills and camp activities.  They will learn age appropriate child development and the responsibility of working with children.

While learning the importance of service through hands-on training, CITs will experience all the fun of camp and building strong, lasting friendships. Each CIT will be partnered with different Camp Counselors to assist young campers in their daily sports and activities, and CITs will be evaluated on their performance.

The goal of the CIT Camp is for our junior counselors to have Fun and Learn while at camp. Interacting with campers and representing Sports Connection requires a certain level of maturity and we expect all CIT’s to be able to Listen, Learn and Lead. Our directors will contact all CIT Campers before camp to discuss our expectations and their responsibilities and any CIT Camper we feel is not the best fit for our CIT Program, will be issued a refund.

Daily Monday – Friday, June 12 – August 25
8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
$200 Per Week

REGISTER FOR CAMPS PER DAY (versus per week)
