Cap Kids Counselor in Training Program is a leadership program catered to 12-15 year olds with an interest in being a future Cap Kids Camp Counselor. Interested CITS must apply to the program and be accepted. Once a CIT is accepted they can then be enrolled in camp.
Cap Kids CITs are expected to model a high level of character for younger campers. They are responsible for helping run activities, set things up, help clean, but most importantly to set the tone of fun and friendship.
