25 S U M M E R C A M P S Counselor in Training Program Ages 14-16 Supervisor: Mike Loszach The Counselor-In-Training program is for teens who are ready to take on a leadership role and learn to care for children in a summer camp setting. With staff guidance and encouragement, CITs will work with youth, lead games and crafts, and assist on field trips. Besides helping campers in your community have an awesome summer, being a CIT looks great on a resume and may even help you land that paid camp counselor position you've been dreaming of. With two sessions of pre-camp training and two-week session options throughout the summer, your teen is sure to find a leadership opportunity that fits his or her schedule! Schedule The CIT program features a combination of leadership training and hands-on learning. CITs begin each week with a CIT training session from 10am to 12pm at Ridgeland Common. CITs will then head to their assigned camp to spend the afternoon with their campsite, or head home and start fresh at the beginning of the camp day on Tuesday. Interview & Registration Teens should register for pre-season training, as well as their preferred campsite and sessions. To ensure a great fit for the summer, all CIT applicants meet with camp leadership for a brief interview during their leadership training. These interviews provide prospective CITs with the chance to show that they have a great attitude and are excited to be a part of the CIT program. We take our camps seriously and want to ensure that our CITs are positive role models for the kids in our community! Teen Scene Camp Supervisor: Mike Loszach This is the place for teens looking to get off the couch and get out of Oak Park for the summer! With two field trips per week, teambuilding activities, team and individual games, swimming at Ridgeland Common Pool twice a week and weekly visits to the Ice Rink, there's no time to get bored.
