Quick Info
CITs and LITs live together for the week. Part of the day they attend sessions in group development, problem solving, communication, and teaching skills. The rest of the time they volunteer at different camp program areas such as Tree Climbing, Camp Counseling, Nature Programming, or Waterfront.
Overnight EITs train and serve as volunteers at the Equestrian Area and come in the morning and work with our Equestrian Staff. In the afternoon they volunteer at different camp program areas such as Counseling, Group Games, or Waterfront.
Overall, this is an excellent way to gain important skills that will transfer well to any career you choose.
