More About Our Camp Values

At our summer camp counselor training program, we value skills and techniques along with passion and dedication. CITs will learn from various camp leaders and professionals and follow many of the same training procedures as our staff. They will also have opportunities to work directly with campers in cabins and program areas, under the supervision and guidance of the staff. Our goal is to have our CITs gain the skills to be effective leaders both at camp and in their communities.
