ROUNDTABLE: From Camper to Counselor: CIT and Teen Leadership Programs

CIT and Teen Leadership Programs can build a wonderful bridge from older camper to staff member by providing young adults with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to work as camp counselors. What are the best ways to set up CIT program activities? Should participants pay a fee, be a volunteer, and/or earn service hours? This roundtable will focus on the pros and cons of offering CITs. Bring your successful CIT models and experiences to the conversation. Also bring your failures--we would love to hear ways to navigate the pitfalls! If you are thinking about adding a CIT program, bring your questions and concerns.

This discussion is open to SPARC members only. We welcome and encourage participation from anyone with involvement in auxiliary programs including Directors, Assistant Directors, CFOs, and any other school personnel that are interested. The discussion will be facilitated by SPARC Senior Advisors, with the goal of encouraging the participation of all attendees. Recordings are available to SPARC members within 48 hours on SPARC Connect.
