Counselors in Training
Entering Grades 11 – 12
The CIT program is for mature campers who are ready to take on the challenge of leadership camp and begin the journey to becoming a staff member. The high-intensity two week program (weekend included) will begin with a three day two night kayaking trip in Washington state in which CITs will begin their team building experience and sit up their expectations for their session and internship. CITs will return to camp and participate in a team-building experience on the challenge course and spend the remainder of the first week much like the staff do during orientation and training. We emphasize understanding children, respecting diversity, leadership skills and YMCA values.

Counselor in Training Fees
Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, YMCA Camp Collins uses a three-tier rate structure for our summer camp programs. Please take a moment to look at the rate descriptions below and choose the rate level that is most suitable for your family.
Rate One
Based on the actual cost of camp for one teen to participate. Includes expenses for staff, maintenance, food and supplies.
Example
$790.00 $690.00 $590.00
Rate Two
Our partially subsidized fee for those families who can pay a little more, but still can't afford the actual cost of camp.
Example
$790.00 $690.00 $590.00
Rate Three
Our standard subsidized fee. This rate does not reflect the true cost of operating sumer camp programs.
Example
$790.00 $690.00 $590.00
This program is voluntary and in no way influences the experience children receive, yet it offers the opportunity for families to take an active role in supporting the true cost of their teen's camp experience.

During the second week, CITs will practice their skills in a cabin as an assistant counselor! CITs will work with a senior staff member to lead the campers through their daily activities. CITs will receive support and evaluations from camp staff and their counselors. This is a specialized program that requires maturity and a desire to learn and work hard. An application form and interview are required; however, participating in the interview does not guarantee placement in the CIT program. Please call the Summer Camp Director or Associate Summer Camp Director at 503.663.3190 for more information
