AWARENESS OF OTHERS Counselor in Training Program (CIT) CIT Director: LaVenus Harried Teens entering grades 9 and 10 Our Counselor in Training (CIT) program is designed for those entering 9th and 10th grade who want first-hand leadership and staffing experience, while still enjoying time for social interaction. Our CITs participate in team-building, leadership training, and experience a summer they will never forget. CITs must commit to two weeks with us, but we encourage them to spend all four weeks to get the full experience. Each week will focus on a new set of skills and development topics. Our program is cumulative, so the lessons are progressive from 9th grade to 10th grade. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The CIT Program Includes: Orientation and training prior to camp Volunteer services First Aid/CPR certifications Intro to lifeguard skills/ training Job preparations (creating resumes and completing job applica- tions; interview skill training, mock interview with the director) Community service projects Leadership skill and development workshops Team-building activities and group projects Practical experience working with children Field trips every other week that include Kings Dominion, archery, high ropes course One overnight at the Weinstein JCC Outdoor survival skills Cooking Israeli cuisine Stipend and certificate Camp newsletter The CIT Experience: Our rising 10th grade CITs and returning participants will have the option of training and more hands-on opportunities to work with groups and directly with senior counselors and specialists.
