Program staff are committed to Christian formation and safety and many were once campers. They plan activities and supervise campers. From a high school youth counselor-in-training working with Junior campers, to an adult working with campers of all ages, each staff member brings their gift of experience to camp.

Counselors-In Training (CITs)
The Counselors-In-Training (CIT) program provides an opportunity for high school aged students to build valuable skills working with youth in the church. The CIT program will help build leadership and organizational skills. There is hands-on-experience working with children in a summer camp setting while under the mentorship and supervision of experienced camp staff.
Eligibility Requirements: Open to current high school students in grades 9-12 (ages 14-17) in the 2024-2025 academic year and will have successfully completed at least one year of high school by the start of 2025 camp sessions.
Students interested in participating in the CIT program must submit an application, regardless of past participation. There are a limited number of spaces available, and as with other camp staff positions, applying to serve as a CIT does not guarantee applicant selection. Job Descriptions and Staff/CIT Applications may be found at the top of this webpage.
When accepted, the CIT will receive necessary information on "next steps" from the Camp Director, the Assistant Camp Director (CIT Program Supervisor), and/or the Diocesan Administrator. All CITs, as minors, must also submit the Parent/Legal Guardian Authorization Form.
By taking on the responsibility of becoming a CIT, you are agreeing to serve the needs of the campers as a student leader. This is a volunteer position, and we try to include many aspects of any “typical” job. You will have supervisors, duties, and the opportunity to show that you have the responsibility to perform the task at hand. CITs will be work alongside adult staff members to ensure campers are taking care of their personal hygiene, assist at meals, encourage participation in worship, plan group activities, and help with the maintenance of your living area.
