Our CIT Program for Campers entering Grade 11 and 12

Highly motivated and responsible campers entering grade 11 and 12 are invited to join us for a camp exploration program. 

Small group consisting of our oldest campers that form their own unit, follow tailored programming and activities aimed at helping the campers gain leadership skills, self-confidence and expand on the meaning of teamwork.
Great examples and motivators everywhere they go, lifting spirits and lending a hand where needed, CIT Campers are not responsible for the care of children, or running a program area. They have a dedicated counselor and follow their own schedule based on their interests and skills. Activities will include our traditional programming pool, tubing, climbing tower, canoeing; and we expand and vary per week. These activities can include: arts and crafts project, photography, social media take-over, newsletter, help prepare at activities, assisting in the kitchen, cabin inspection, story times.
