Counselor-in-Training - Level 1 Captain CIT (Week 5)
Description
Students who age-out of summer camp can now register for our counselor-in-training program. Our CIT camp is a great way to learn the ropes of working at summer camp or other children's programs. CITs will work under the direction of our Assistant Camp Director to assist in camp classes and other duties assigned. CITs will have special training sessions with the MPH Division Heads and School Nurse.

This Level 1 is for CITs in Grace 9 and Grade 10 (1st year). Level 1 CITs will be Captains of their summer camp classes with grades 5-8. With their classes, they will be role models for campers and will assist counselors with activities and enthusiasm for camp while learning leadership skills and working toward Level 2.

Please note that MPH only hires summer counselor “floater” candidates who have graduated from high school unless they have worked for our school-year extended day program. Offering the summer CIT program will allow students an opportunity to train as a floater and possible employment at the age of 16 (dependent on performance and job openings).
