Counselors in Training

Counselors in Training (CITs) is an immersive and engaging experience for incoming 9th graders that prepares them for leadership roles as camp counselors.

CITs learn how to administer games and activities, and ensure the well being and safety of all participants through focused play, discussion, and reflection.

As they play, CITs practice applying the skills each game teaches to positive interactions with Walden West campers and each other.

Since CITs participate and interact with the Summer Day Camp, they are invited to the Thursday night BBQ and campfire. CITs may also opt to stay for the night hike and spend the night under the stars. The CITs Thursday BBQ dinner and Friday breakfast and lunch are included in the registration fee.
