Campers Entering 9th or 10th Grade

Kiwi Country Day Camp’s Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Program: Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders

The CIT Program is designed to empower our oldest campers to grow as leaders, role models, and educators, equipping them with the skills needed to make a lasting impact on the younger campers at Kiwi Country Day Camp. This program provides a unique and engaging opportunity for teens to develop leadership abilities in a supportive, hands-on environment while still enjoying the camp experience.

Throughout the program, CITs will participate in activities focused on teamwork, problem-solving, and personal development, all while learning how to be positive role models. They will also continue to enjoy camp activities as participants, fostering a balanced experience of both leadership development and fun.

As the CITs refine their leadership skills, they will begin to work alongside counselors and interact with younger campers, practicing key skills such as initiative, communication, and active listening. This experience allows CITs to become more comfortable in their role and to grow in their ability to lead effectively.

In addition to their hands-on work with campers, CITs will have the opportunity to contribute in a specialized group or area, where they can demonstrate their newly acquired skills and shine as valuable members of the camp team.

The program also includes the chance for CITs to participate off-campus trips that support their leadership development while offering new and exciting experiences. CITs will also engage in community service projects, both on and off campus, helping them put their leadership skills into action.

With limited spots available, we encourage all interested candidates to apply and take the next step toward becoming a future leader at Kiwi Country Day Camp.
