C.I.T.

At Discover Camp, we take pride in developing “homegrown” counselors. The CIT training program is a full summer internship. Campers who accept this job must be former campers for at least two summers and must be dedicated to becoming counselors at Discover Camp for at least 3 summers. CITs must be 15 years of age at the beginning of the summer and must commit to either all of Session I, Session II, or both. A CIT will be awarded a 75% scholarship off tuition. Steps to becoming a CIT: 1.) Send a letter of interest and request an online application from Mr. O’Neil at do’neil@discovercamp.com. 2.) Fill out the online application. 3.) Conduct a phone or video conference interview with Mr. O’Neil. 4.) Upon acceptance, Mr. O’Neil will modify your account to register on our website. A CIT will be trained in different areas in many classes and will be given a schedule and list of tasks to complete. This process will allow our CITs to become familiar and proficient in assisting children in any given class. Our goal is to create well rounded counselors, who may have specialized skills, but are well versed and can assist in any class. In addition to assisting in the classroom, each CIT will have light cleaning and organizational duties in the morning before camp, at lunch, and at dismissal. NYS Law dictates that CITs must be 15 years old and no more than 10% of total staff can be classified as a CIT. Therefore, we will be accepting no more than 12 CITs into the 2025 Program
