Teen Camp Opportunities

Counselor in Training Program

Sterling Day Camp is committed to providing our teens with the opportunity to be half camper, half leader! The Counselor-In-Training program creates an opportunity for participants to develop leadership and job skills as well as develop skills to become a future counselor. This program is designed for teens entering 9th-12th grade. 

CITs must be present a minimum of 6 of the 9 camp weeks, 7 out of 9 preferred.

CITs must enjoy working with children, have a positive attitude, want to learn and practice leadership skills, and be good role models for campers working under a camp counselor and other camp staff.

The CIT program fee is $250 for the summer.

CITs who successfully complete the program will receive the $250 fee returned at the end of the summer as well as a stipend for completion, and verification of service hours.

Upon completion of the CIT program, teens may be eligible to move on to our Junior Counselor Program.

2026 Counselor In Training Application goes live on March 7th at 10AM.
