Counselor-in-Training Program
“At first, the idea of transitioning from a camper to counselor seemed frightening, but my time spent as a CIT prepared me with the skills I needed to not only be a counselor, but also to be myself and a leader in running camp.” – Noah, age 18
Being a counselor- in- training is one of the best summers at Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps. If you are a junior in high school, you can apply to be a counselor- in-training (CIT). For seven weeks, CITs creates relationships with fellow CITs as they learn about being a counselor, programming, leadership skills, and the operations of camp. The theory is that CITs spend more time together as CIT group in the beginning of camp as they go through training and less time with campers. As the summer progresses, they become more secure about working with campers and so they spend less time with fellow CITs and more time with campers. The summer is an evolution from camper to staff for CITs as a group and as individuals. Entrance into this program is very competitive and based on a completed application by the deadline, a personal interview, history at camp and letters of recommendations.
The CIT application deadline has passed.
