GSNorCal CIT Application 2019
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 beginning January 2019. If you have questions about the process, please contact us at: registration@girlscoutsnorcal.org or call 800-447-4475, ext 4004. If you need more space to write anything, you may attach a word document to the bottom of the application. You may also attach copies of certificates, letters of recommendation, etc.
