Participant Information

Campers are kids who are currently in grades 1-7 and will be entering grades 2-8 in the fall of the Summer Camp year. Campers bunk in the dorms with kids their own age and may request to be bunkmates with their friends who enroll with them for the same session. They will have the opportunity to interact with other age groups for all other activities.

Once children enter 9th grade, they become Counselors in Training (CITs), followed by Junior Counselors (JCs). Through this 4-year progressive program, CITs and JCs learn leadership skills, responsibility, independence, and program creation. They support campers by supervising, leading classes, and building impressive scenes for the theme of each week.

CIT I (entering 9th grade), CIT II (entering 10th grade) JC I (entering 11th grade), JC II (entering 12th grade)
