Counselor In Training Program

J.N. Webster is proud to welcome a new and exciting counselor-in-training (CIT) program to its 2007 season. The CIT program offers an intensive and challenging educational opportunity for anyone seeking to expand leadership abilities, knowledge of camp operations, and teaching skills.

The 2007 CIT program is a one (1) week commitment. During the week, participants must undergo a rigorous schedule of training sessions aimed at developing outdoor skills, presentation and pubic speaking abilities, teaching methodologies, and an overall understanding of all areas of camp operation. The program is designed to instill the knowledge and values that J.N. Webster expects from all its staff members. Participants will work in all areas of camp and gain first-hand experiences to understand what it really takes to operate the high-quality programs and facilities found at JN Webster.

Candidates who successfully complete this program will be closely considered for open positions on the 2007 J.N. Webster camp staff. However, please note that participation in the CIT program in no way guarantees employment at JN Webster.

The cost of the 2007 CIT program is $125.

To be eligible for the 2007 CIT program, you must:

Be at least 14 (15 years old preferred)
Complete the CIT application by the deadline
Submit 3 references, one of which comes from your scoutmaster
Undergo a pre-camp interview (in person or by phone)

CITs may be asked back for additional weeks free of charge. It is not a guarantee and depends on need and camp attendance.
