The Naticook Day Camp Counselor in Training Program (CIT) returns after a 4 year hiatus with an entirely new look. This FREE CIT program prepares teens who are 14 & 15 years old to become future leaders by developing self-esteem, peer relations, interpersonal skills, and leadership techniques. CIT participants will receive training to prepare them to work with adults, peers, and children.

Through a hands on learning experience, CIT's will get the chance to plan and implement camp activities for various age groups. They will also get the chance to learn from our dedicated team of camp staff. CIT’s will help to plan and implement weekly Camp special events.

They will directly be supervised by CIT Coordinator and longtime Naticook Day Camp fixture - John Brennan. Many former campers return year after year to become CIT’s and then eventually move up to become Camp Counselors.

Participants will learn lessons daily while interacting with peers and having FUN!  Interested individuals can sign up for 1 three week session. Spaces are limited to a maximum of 8 CIT's per session.
