2012 Counselor in Training Program

The Counselor in Training program is available for campers entering 10-12th grade who are attending our two-week sessions 3, 4 or 5. The program emphasizes leadership skills, creativity, team building and most importantly fun! By acting as role models for younger campers and assisting in leading different aspects of the camp program, it is our goal that the C.I.T.'s walk away having learned new leadership skills and have formed lasting memories with our youngest campers.

The daily schedule of a C.I.T. is very similar to that of an Alpiner camper. During 3 out of the 4 activity periods, the C.I.T.'s participate in regular camp activities. This gives the group a chance to enjoy all of the great activities that Mountain Camp has to offer along with their peers. The remaining activity period is spent doing fun leadership activities as a C.I.T. group. Other activities that are offered to the
C.I.T.'s include, but are not limited to:

• A White Water Rafting trip or Kayak Tour of Lake Tahoe
• A day hike to the top of Thunder Mountain or other area peak
• An overnight trip in the wilderness
• Hosting an All Camp Evening Program and Campfire
• Playing a large role in our Mountaineering Program
• Helping to organize the Blazer and Tracker Dances

There is a short application and that must be completed by the applicant in order to be considered for the C.I.T. program. When choosing C.I.T. candidates, past performance, application answers and counselor references will be taken into account. All applicants will be given a short phone interview.
