GSNorCal CIT Application 2018

The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program offers high school girls an opportunity to learn leadership and outdoor skills needed to work with girls in a camp setting. During this leadership program, CIT's will explore the areas of campcraft skills, and all will work on group dynamics, child development, program planning skills, camp operations and the role of the camp counselor. The training program includes regular hours devoted to workshops, plus actual experience working with children under the supervision of camp staff. Please submit this application at the same time as your registration for the program. Placements will occur 2-4 weeks from the time the CIT Application form is submitted.
