Why the CIT Program Stands Out
Develop Leadership That Shines
CITs learn essential skills in teamwork, communication, problem solving, and responsibility while being immersed in the magic of camp life.
Earn Service Hours
Participants receive community service hours that support academic requirements and strengthen future applications.
Professional Job Training
CITs gain insight into activity planning, camper engagement, safety procedures, and leadership in action.
Exclusive, High-Impact Opportunity
With limited enrollment, CITs are part of a selective group of motivated teens developing meaningful leadership skills.
Where Fun Meets Purpose
CITs participate in camp spirit, traditions, and excitement while taking on new responsibilities.
A Magical Beginning to Your Leadership Journey
This is more than a summer role. It is your first step into a world where confidence grows, leadership takes shape, and future possibilities feel truly limitless. If you are ready to unlock your potential and become part of the magic that makes Camp J extraordinary, the CIT Program is where your adventure begins.
