About Counselors in Training
Ages 15 to 16 years old
The Counselors in Training (CIT) program is where teens learn what it takes to be a counselor. This two-week session focuses on leadership development, communication skills, team-building, goal-setting and having fun. These hands-on experiences are designed to teach teens the skills, attributes and strategies that are important traits of exemplary leaders and camp counselors. Leadership skills learned at the Y can carry over to school, homes and communities.
