Counselor-In-Training Program
COUNSELOR IN TRAINING PROGRAM
Our counselor in training program is designed for children ages 13 to 17 years old. The C-I-Ts will assist the counselors with the day to day activities of summer camp.(For additional information about summer camp, please visit that web page.)
Additionally, the C-I-Ts may work with other staff members and help with birthday parties, trail rides, barn chores, Family Fun Tours and much, much more.
We ask that applicants for the C-I-T program be responsible, patient, mature and enjoy young children. Prior horse experience is not necessary although it is beneficial.
C-I-Ts can sign up for one or more of the regular camp sessions. They may sign up for full day or half day as well as before care/after care.
C-I-Ts will be expected to comport themselves as C-I-Ts and not as campers..
