The Counselor In Training (CIT) and Counselor Aide (CA) program is for former Chinqueka campers 16-18 years of age. CIT's and CA's learn valuable skills such as leadership, responsibility, and reliability.

The fundamental objective of this program is to provide opportunities for participation in the operation of the camp and an introduction to leadership techniques and responsibilities. Our program seeks to foster the development of skills in group leadership, game and activity leadership, enthusiasm, communication, positive learning, managing undesired behavior, teaching, teamwork, responsibility, respect, motivation, listening, planning, initiative, creativity, persistence, problem solving and observation.

CIT's/CA's practice the skills they are taught and are evaluated daily. Participation in the CIT/CA program does not imply that the participant will become a member of the Chinqueka staff upon completion. Participation in the program is for the development of leadership skills and abilities.

Acceptance into the program is dependent upon the individual's performance as a camper in the following areas: leadership potential, enthusiasm for camp life, positive attitude, and maturity.

Interested candidates should contact the office by the end of September.
