Leadership Training for Teenagers Ages 13 – 17

Our Counselor in Training (CIT) program gives youth the opportunity to increase their self-confidence, leadership capacity, and accountability while enhancing their skills for the workforce. CITs support our younger campers and learn from our dedicated camp staff. During the summer they can serve for a single week, a few weeks, or even a month or more. Individuals who participate in the CIT program then have the opportunity to further their leadership skills by applying for employment with Schoolhouse of Wonder as a Junior Counselor.
