Counselor-in-Training Program
Rising Juniors & Seniors, four weeks
We’re proud that many of our campers eventually want to come back to Camp Shady Brook in a different capacity – as leaders for the next generation. The Counselor in Training (CIT) program is a powerful and amazing leadership development program for high school students. Teens learn how to become exceptional leaders at camp with skill-building opportunities in leadership, child development, safety, relationship building, character development and program skills critical for leaders
at Camp Shady Brook. Through observation, mentoring and hands-on work, teens gain knowledge and skills that equip them to be leaders at Camp Shady Brook, with children and within team environments. In addition, CITs will have the opportunity to learn
skill sets in a specific area at camp: the barn, ropes course or kitchen. Previous summers at Camp Shady Brook are not a prerequisite for the CIT program.
