Summer 2023 CIT Program for Teens Entering 8th – 12 Grades Application

Shalom,

We are so excited you are considering to be a CIT this summer. Being a CIT you have the ability to make lasting memories for our campers while building important life skills. While you will work hard, you should feel rewarded at the end of each day knowing you brought joy to our camper’s lives.

Session Dates:

Session 1: May 30 – June 16
Session 2: June 19 – July 7 * No camp Tuesday, July 4
Session 3: July 10 – July 28

• Teens entering into 8^th through 12^th grade can apply to be a CIT
• Earn an average of 60 community service hours per session

Application Process

Being a CIT means, you are making a commitment.  Counselors are depending on you, so showing up is important. If you miss multiple days you could risk being removed from the program. We are in for a wonderful summer. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Ross Glinkenhouse if you have any questions ([email protected]).
