Counselor In Training (CIT) Program at Camp Rotary & Paul Bunyan Scout Reservation

The purpose of the Counselor In Training (CIT) program is to give Scouts the opportunity to spend time at camp learning the responsibility & commitment required of a member of the Camp Staff. These assignments are rotated throughout the week and will be assigned by the Camp Director and/or Program Director so the CIT is exposed to as many areas of camp program as possible during the week. The CIT position is a non-paid position and is done strictly on a volunteer basis.

By enrolling in the CIT Program you will receive an incredible opportunity to see if you have what it takes to be a member of our Camp Staff.  As a CIT, you will be provided: (1) food & lodging for the week, (2) an outstanding work & learning experience, (3) personal performance reviews, and (4) be under the direct supervision of the Camp Director & Program Director.  As a CIT, you will spend time in as many of our program areas as possible and be able to work directly with our Area Directors & Scouts.

The vast majority of our paid camp staff members participated in the CIT Program.
