Counselor-in-Training Program
About Our Counselor-in-Training Program
Started in 2018, this is an application-based program for high school students, ages 16 and older, and consists of paid employment for at least two sessions of summer camp (4 weeks). The goal of this program is to create a path for former campers to become summer staff when they turn 18, and to continue to cultivate the relationship built throughout their years at camp.

After Graduation
Successful CIT program participants will have the opportunity to work as a summer camp counselor after they graduate high school and are at least 18 years old. Involvement in the ASC CIT program makes you eligible to apply for the YMBL Sunshine Foundation Scholarship - the greater involvement you have in the program, the greater chance you have of receiving scholarship funds.
