Three week Counselor in Training (CIT) Program offers selected applicants the opportunity to develop self-confidence, an understanding of leadership skills and the skills needed to be an effective and caring counselor through cooperative games, role play activities, observation and hands-on training with younger campers. The focus is on small group dynamics, communication skills, teamwork and value clarification, as well as conflict resolution.

Selected applicants participate in a variety of exercises and challenges, and also have the opportunity to complete a First Aid/CPR course and an American Camping Association online course in Youth Leadership. Our Counselors in Training will also be given the task of organizing a community service event for the camp at the end of each three-week session. The goal is to have our CITs acquire the skills to be effective leaders at camp and in their communities.

Interested students must contact Liza Hards at lhards@elisabethmorrow.org to obtain an application. Students may enroll in one or both of the three-week sessions. The cost is $1,250 per session.
