We’re excited to bring back our Prime Time Counselor in Training (CIT) Program—a unique opportunity for campers aged 13 – 17 years old to transition into future leaders and counselors!

  • Boys and Girls Grades 9th-11th

  • Ages 13-17

  • Mandatory CIT Training: May 30

  • Returning: $150 per week | max payment $600

  • New: $200 per week | max payment $800

This program helps bridge the gap between being a camper and taking on greater responsibility as a counselor. CITs will gain valuable leadership skills, earn community service hours for High School, and often, those who excel in this program become Prime Time’s best counselors.

Application Requirements

To apply for the CIT Program, candidates must submit a completed Prime Time CIT application along with a one-page essay. The application and essay must be submitted together in order to be considered.

Once your submission has been received, our Program Director, Kaelyn, will contact all eligible applicants to schedule an interview.

Please note that participation in the program requires a minimum commitment of two weeks. Applicants who are available for the full summer will be given priority consideration.

Essay Prompt: Please select one prompt
1) Describe how a Camp Coach positively influenced your experience as a camper. What did they do that made a lasting impact on you?

2)Explain how you hope to create a positive and meaningful camp experience for the campers you will work with. What qualities, actions, or values will you bring to make a difference?

  • Essay must include – introduction paragraph, two body paragraphs and conclusion
  • Each paragraph must contain at least four complete sentences.
  • Your response should be thoughtful, detailed, and clearly organized.

Responsibilities

CITs have two primary responsibilities:

  1. support the counselor
  2. play with the campers

All CITs are assigned to a group. Assisting the counselors includes:

  • setting up games
  • getting equipment
  • counting to make sure they have all their campers
  • getting to know their campers
  • being involved in all activities throughout the day

The role of a CIT is that they are an extension of the counselors. They are NOT in charge of the group. CITs are at camp to support the counselor and ensure a successful day for the group. They are also there to play all the games that the counselor has planned.

In addition, CITs serve as role models for their campers. They must remember to continually set a good example for all campers at Prime Time.
