Special Session counselors must be 16 and have completed the 10th grade at school. We also know that there are some awesome younger folks who would be a great addition to our community!
CITs stay in the cabins with campers, counselors and lead counselors. They are not assigned a specific camper, but help out in the cabin generally. CITs are not expected to administer direct personal care (like bathing, toileting, etc).
Serving in a cabin at Special Session requires maturity and endurance. The cabins are comfortable and air-conditioned, but it's sometimes difficult to sleep. It's a 24/7 job for our staff; breaks are minimal and we don't have a whole lot of time for just hanging out. CITs should come prepared to spend a week in service, to learn to care for people, and to have your life transformed by this community.
CITS are able to attend just one summer session.
