To thrive as a Camp CIT (Counselor-in-Training), you need a positive attitude, strong communication skills, and a willingness to learn and assist camp staff, usually as part of a leadership development program for teens. Familiarity with basic first aid and safety protocols, as well as training in child supervision, are valuable assets. Enthusiasm, patience, teamwork, and adaptability help CITs effectively engage with campers and support camp operations. These skills ensure a safe, fun, and enriching camp environment while preparing CITs for future leadership roles.
