Counselors In Training (CITs)

Counselors in Training (CITs) work alongside our camp staff to deliver high-quality, hands-on environmental education and activities for campers ages 6 to 12. The program is structured to give CITs the opportunity to explore their interests in education, coaching, or parks and recreation while also building the skills and experience to launch them towards their next educational or career opportunities. We hope our CITs will become the next generation of Adventure Camp counselors.

Build your resume, work outside, and broaden your knowledge of working in a camp setting all during this learning opportunity!

CIT positions are open to middle and high school students ages 13 to 15 years old. For more information, contact Zoe Lirakisor call 802-885-2568.
