Counselor In Training Program

The CIT program offers an exciting opportunity for those who would like to learn about the camp operation from the staff viewpoint. As a CIT, you will learn leadership skills, become knowledgeable of camp operations, and develop teaching skills.

The CIT Program is a one (1) week commitment. The program is designed to instill the knowledge and values that are expected of all Connecticut Rivers Council camp staff members. Participants will work in all areas of camp and gain first-hand experiences to understand what it really takes to operate the high-quality programs of the Connecticut Rivvers Council.

The cost of the program is $125. Participants must be at least 14 years old. All participants will be evaluated at the end of the week and could be offered to stay for another week based on their performance.

Those who successfully complete this program will be seriously considered for future camp staff positions. Those who participate in the CIT program enhance their possibility of being hired to the staff but participation does not guarantee a position. Please understand that participation in the CIT program in no way guarantees employment.

If you are interested in being a CIT, please complete and mail in the CIT application:
