Description

Counselor in Training (CIT) Program

This is an excellent opportunity for campers entering grades 9-12 to earn Student Service Learning (SSL) hours and develop great leadership and supervision skills assisting campers between the ages of 4 ½ to 13. CIT programs are available for Arts Journeys, Performing Arts Camp, Multi-Arts Institute, and After Care.

Experience working with children and an interest in visual art, drama, music, or dance is preferred. CITs must be 14 by the start of their camp session, be entering 9^th grade and are required to attend their entire session.

CIT Schedules: 8:30am - 3:45pm for camps and 3:15 - 6:30pm for After Care.

All CIT?s must attend one Mandatory Training Session. Please select one of the training dates when you register: Tuesday, May 22^nd from 5:30pm - 8:00pm, Wednesday, June 6^th from 5:00pm - 7:30pm, or Thursday, June 14^th from 3:00 - 5:30pm. You only need to attend one of these sessions.

Tuition: $25 for 1-week camps and After Care, $50 for 2-week camps (prices are the same for members and non-members)

Please note there is a daily limit to the number of SSL hours a CIT can earn. This limit is exceeded when registering to be a CIT for both a full camp day and After Care. Please consult your camper?s school for regulations.

BlackRock is a pre-approved Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) SSL organization.

There will be staff meetings at least once per week that CITs must attend. Staff meetings take place after the camp day and will require your CIT to stay late. Most meetings are between 30-45 minutes, however they may run longer.
