Hidden Valley 4-H Camp : CIT Program Week 5

The 3 main goals of the CIT program are to train potential staff, provide personal growth, and promote leadership development. This one-week training program concentrates on leadership training, team building, skill development, service to camp, and personal growth. The program will provide a time of transition for each participant as they develop from campers to counselors.

CITs will learn that the role of a positive mentor and teacher is essential to their successful future as a Camp Counselor. Gaining this experience will involve learning, modeling, and practicing how to lead songs, games, and discussions. CITs will actively participate in each of the camp program areas where they will learn hands-on what it takes to teach and encourage campers in campfire cooking, cooking, drama, free swim, health & fitness, nature, press corps, outdoor adventures, sports, swim lessons, water games and more!

Participants will then take what they have learned and plan and facilitate their own activities for small groups and the entire camp. They will also have ample opportunities to ask questions, reflect on their experiences, and share their successes.

Team building is the core of this program. Throughout the CIT experience, campers will engage in several exercises and challenges to prepare them for working as a team, dealing with difficult situations, and making successful choices.

CIT Program open to ages 15-16.
