Second session is off to a great start for the CITs! Over the next few weeks, they will get to really dive in head first to the full counselor and specialist experience.
We welcomed back your CITs on Sunday, the day before camp, to get a preview into what the staff preparations look like. They learned about how to best support each of their campers, helped decorate the cabin, and welcomed our new campers with friendly, smiling, faces.
During this session, the CITs will spend the majority of the afternoon with their cabin and specialty placement, learning what it means to be a great counselor and a specialist. They attend one meal per day with their cabins, and the other two with their CIT cohort. CITs attend evening programming and cabin times with their cabins to see what it takes to lead a great program and help the campers through their nighttime routines. Finally after dinner, the CITs re-convene in one group to close out their night with reflections, story times, and a meaningful village-specific program.
We can’t wait to watch as your CITs learn, grow, and form special bonds with their cabins, co-counselors, and each other.
