Pre-Camp: Participate in orientation and training to learn camp expectations, safety guidelines, and the basics of camper supervision. Understand the daily schedule, activity structure, and the role CITs play in supporting counselors and campers. During Camp: Assist counselors with group activities, games, snack and lunch programs, swimming supervision, and transitions between activities. Help maintain clean and organized group areas, support camper engagement, and step in as an extra set of hands wherever needed. CITs also learn from directors and leadership staff about camp operations and decision-making. Post-Camp: Support group clean-up at the end of each day or week, reflect on lessons learned, and provide feedback on your experience to camp leadership. This reflection helps prepare for future paid counselor roles. This position is ideal for motivated and enthusiastic teens interested in building leadership skills, gaining service hours, and preparing for future employment. CITs are role models-in-training who play an important part in helping Kidcam deliver a safe, fun, and unforgettable summer.
