Counselor in Training Program: Ages 15–17
Do you want to be a part of one of the best overnight summer camps in California? Would you like to be a positive influence in the lives of children? Are you interested in helping us make the most memorable camp experience possible?
Over the years, River Way Ranch Camp’s CIT program has garnered a reputation for excellence due to its comprehensive approach to personal and professional development. Our program, similar to the training our counselors undergo, equips your teen not only to work effectively with younger children but also nurtures the development of leadership, organizational, and teaching skills. Participation in our CIT program provides not only an enriching educational experience but also an opportunity for your teen to form lifelong friendships and networking connections. This experience can be included as community service hours on college applications, adding another dimension to their extracurricular achievements.
