Counselor-In-Training

One of the wonderful things about Simon Kenton Council Camps is that a vast majority of the staff members are former campers.  After experiencing the friendship and dedication of our summer camp staff, it is common for many scouts to want to return for additional weeks in camp and eventually become staff members themselves.  A well-constructed counselor-in-training program maintains the quality of the camp staff.  Over ninety percent of the staff has gone through at least one year of this two-year program.

At our camps, CITs are not junior staff members.  They are in a fun, rewarding, and challenging training program; they are not a free labor pool.  There is a Staff Trainer whose full-time job is to work with the CIT’s.
