What is a C.I.T.?
A Counselor in Training is a person who would like to learn more about counseling through on the job training. Through encouragement and feedback from the counselor they are working with, a CIT will be able to explore all areas of the counseling role.
What are the responsibilities of a C.I.T.?
As A CIT you are expected to act and function as a counselor under the direct supervision of your immediate family group counselors. You must be an active participant in your family group, listening and responding to the needs of the children (sometimes that means sacrificing your own wants and needs) and helping when asked. You will be expected to be an example for the children who are in your care through your behavior, language, lights out, and all other guidelines presented in the CIT manual. When your supervising counselor is not with the campers, you are responsible for them. Please provide a good model for your camper to learn from. Please attend any pre-camp meetings set by your Team Leader.
How old does a C.I.T. have to be?
CIT’s range in age from 16 years old to adults. Gain valuable on the job training. Anyone who feels like they will benefit from this learning experience is encouraged to come to CIT training. It will help you familiarize yourself with our camp and our program. Those who have completed their Junior year in High School, and are affiliated with the Church of the Brethren will be given first consideration.
What age group will the C.I.T. work with?
CIT’s will work with the Beginner (first graders), Samplers (second and third graders), Seekers (third and fourth graders), and Finders (fifth and sixth grade) camps. We do not staff our Wilderness camps, Youth camps, or Follower camps with CIT’s unless special arrangements have been made with Curt Rowland, Program Director.
