Teenage Campers
Counselor In Training Program
The Counselor In Training Program allows 4 or 8-week campers ages 16 and 17, or campers going into 11th or 12th grade, to develop leadership experience, give back to the community, and learn basic counseling and teaching skills. CITs are still campers. Like other campers, CITs will live in a bunk, participate in majors, minors and camp events, but will also assume additional responsibilities, and earn a few special privileges and benefits.
CITs attend meetings and training sessions, work with our youngest campers, complete a CIT Apprenticeship in their major or minor, and offer one or more workshops. As a group, the CITs will assist with special events, and complete a service project or outreach into the community.
The CIT Program is an excellent learning experience as well as a great addition to your resume or college application. To apply, please download and complete the CIT Application for first-year CITs, or the CIT Senior Application for campers who have participated in the CIT Program previously. Applications should be mailed to Cori Solomon, Camp Director, Appel Farm Arts Camp, PO Box 888, Elmer, NJ 08318-0888.
