  • COUNSELOR IN TRAINING PROGRAM

    The Counselor-in-Training Program teaches teens the job skills necessary to be a counselor and provides them with ongoing support and mentorship that can further enhance their growth and development in these roles.  The camp environment provides a unique opportunity for youth to build leadership skills, particularly in assisting counselors with younger campers.  Counselors-in Training (CITs) are provided with first-hand experience working with campers and the opportunity to cultivate skills and knowledge in the day camp setting.  CITs are selected through an application and interview process.


    This program is offered at the Paula G. Manship YMCA for children ages 13 - 15. Camp begins June 1. Please contact Cordia Miller for more information or to register cmiller@ymcabr.org
