counselor-in-training program
Helping Our Campers Become Career-Ready
CIT’s must commit to a full week or more per camp. For example 1 full week of SPRING CAMP, 1 full week of WINTER CAMP, or one or more full weeks of SUMMER CAMP. All camps are M-F 8:15am-3:30pm unless otherwise noted.
Our counselor-in-training program provides young teens (12-16 years), who aspire to work with children, the opportunity to develop leadership skills in a creative and safe and fun environment.
Additionally, CIT’s should show responsibility, enthusiasm, and a willingness to grow. SFK CITs volunteer for a minimum one week long session, contributing their time and effort in exchange for valuable work experience and training.
If you're interested in becoming a CIT, please contact us to request an application. Be aware that we want to talk to YOU, the prospective CIT, and not your parent or guardian. This helps us to find out about who you are!
