CIT Program

Are you a young adult seeking a unique, fun, and rewarding experience? Consider joining CYJ as a CIT this summer!

Our Counselor in Training (CIT) program is available for high schoolers entering 12th grade. Participants mentor and lead campers each day, receive training on how to be successful counselors, have countless fun experiences with fellow CITs, and earn 175 hours of community service upon completing the program.

CITs stay in their own housing during the program. This gives the participants the opportunity to bond with fellow CITs throughout the summer and to feel as integrated with their CIT community as their bunk and aidah (age group).

Don’t worry; CITs will still have plenty of time with their assigned cabin, where they will learn how to facilitate programs, problem solve, receive guidance from veteran counselors, and ultimately become great role models for their campers.

Being a part of the CIT program is not only an opportunity for personal growth, but it is non-stop fun! CITs participate in a variety of activities put on just for them, go on weekly trips outside of camp with their CIT cohort, and get to experience everything that is magical about camp with the next generation of campers.

Our program offers a lot of unique opportunities and activities, but often the biggest highlight for our CITs is often the bonds they create with their campers.

The CIT experience is truly once in a lifetime, sign up to be a CIT today!
