Description

 

Our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is designed for rising 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders—youth who have aged out of day camps but are still bursting with camp spirit and ready to step into meaningful leadership roles with new responsibilities and challenges.

Through hands-on youth development experiences, CITs spend their summer building strong peer connections, participating in team-building activities, and practicing essential leadership skills such as communication, problem-solving, and empathy. By assisting counselors, CITs gain real-world experience working with younger campers, learning how to create inclusive, supportive environments where children feel safe and valued.
Whether new to the CIT experience or returning with several summers under their belt, every participant will find this program fun, engaging, and deeply fulfilling. At SCH, CITs are supported as they grow into the confident, compassionate leaders we know they are.

CIT camp will have more details on where to meet-up in the morning and then have daily fields trips to SCH or the Shack at Sellwood Park. 

Typically, this is at Sellwood Community House or at our PlayLab location. 

 

This is a popular program! Each participant is limited to 6 weeks. If you register for more than 6 weeks, we will ask you to unenroll from some weeks to give everyone a chance to participate.
