What does it mean to be a CIT?

A CIT (or Counselor-In-Training) is one of the most important things you can do at camp! If you're going into the 10th grade, then you can sign up to be a CIT!  A CIT is a person who goes around and helps the counselors whether it be with games, teaching a lesson, or running the store. Being a CIT ensures you to have a great time at camp by helping others and shining your light!
