Counselor In Training Camp at Sycamore Grove Park 

LARPD Ranger Staff 

Go beyond nature camp with the Counselor in Training program!  This 1-week program designed for young teens will provide CITs the opportunity to develop leadership skills and get a behind-the-scenes look at the recreation and outdoor industry, all while having fun and bonding with their peers.  

CITs will gain valuable, hands-on leadership experience as they shadow counselors, mentor younger campers, and craft and lead their own camp activities.  Participation in the CIT program will prepare young teens for volunteering at camp and give them a strong foundation of skills needed to become a camp counselor.  After completing the camp, CITs have the opportunity to volunteer for all future Summer Nature Camp and Spring Nature Camp sessions.

Please do not register for this camp more than once. 

NOTE: After completing the camp, CITs have the opportunity to volunteer for Summer Nature Camp. Summer Youth Volunteer Orientation in March 2026 is mandatory. Dates announced in early Spring.
