The Counselor-In-Training (CIT) experience is designed for those campers who will be 14 by the beginning of the camp season (July 1st), and who are interested in becoming better leaders . This program covers an intense curriculum that includes such topics as leadership, conflict resolution, child development, group dynamics, and additional information that leads to the making of a successful Camp Leslie Counselor as well as a community leader.

CIT's must attend two consecutive weeks (Weeks 1 and 2, 3 and 4, or 5 and 6), and will be evaluated by the Camp Staff at the end of their session. All campers who wish to register for the CIT Program must send a completed CIT Application along with their registration form.
