Session 5C - Counselors in Training
Description
Entering grades 11-12 in the fall of 2025. Participants focus on team building, leadership skills, and counseling techniques while spending four weeks at camp. This four-week program includes a week of training and team building, a week ‘in unit’ working directly with a traditional or specialty cabin group, a week focused on service both at camp and in the greater Orcas Island community, and a final week to celebrate and reflect. After completing the CIT program, teens will have accumulated at least 100 hours of community service in recognition of their time working with youth and volunteering in the Orcas Island community. Campers are placed in mixed-gender cabins in our CIT Village with participants within the same program. *Application and interview required. Accepted applicants will receive registration instructions.

We are committed to making YMCA Camping and Outdoor Leadership programs more accessible for everyone. We have lowered our pricing options and developed a voluntary sliding fee schedule. Simply select the price most appropriate for your family. Your selections are completely confidential and do not impact the quality of your camper’s experience.

Price A reflects the full price of sending a camper to the program selected. This level represents the full price of camp operations, including support for long-term maintenance, repairs, and facility enhancements.

Price B is partially sponsored by funds generously contributed by our supporters to help families unable to afford the full price of the program.

Price C is the lowest price, funded by generous contributions donated by our supporters to the greatest extent possible.

Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent anyone from participating in our programs, including financial barriers. If our lowest prices still create a financial barrier that prevents you from participating in our programs, we invite you to fill out a Financial Assistance Application. Once we have reviewed and approved your application, you will receive an email confirming the percentage you have been awarded. The percentage awarded will automatically be applied to your account and be reflected in your final balance. A $50 deposit will still be required to confirm your reservation.
