Leadership Program

Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program

Towering Pines is well known for its leadership program. Boys 16-17 years of age, along with having their own activities, assist daily in an hour-long class that is led by a senior counselor. Our senior counselors are trained to mentor CITs and transition them from camper to counselor. As they make this journey, CITs understand and become an integral part of the magic of camp they experienced as younger campers.

The focus of our CIT program centers around the following:

• Being a positive role model
• Learning the in’s and out’s of being a cabin counselor
• Handling typical camp situations
• Assistant teaching 1 to 2 camp activities
• Planning and organizing all-camp Sunday Special Events
• Teaching various other leadership skills that are transferable to both school and community
