We love junior high students, and we’re excited to help them grow in their faith and become better leaders at Camp and great leaders everywhere else they go, too!

Our Counselor in Training program provides junior high students with:
• A safe, fun, and Jesus-centered place to spend their summer
• Flexible summer scheduling (you choose whether they participate for one week or the entire summer)
• Leadership and discipleship opportunities with members of our summer staff team
• On-the-go training while at Camp (no mandatory pre-summer training)

Notes about the program

1. The Counselors in Training (CIT) Program is available for the entire duration of the Camp of Champions USA summer camp program.

2. The Counselors in Training Program is a stepping stone between Camper registration (for children entering 1st-7th grades in Fall 2024) and our paid summer staff members (who must have completed freshman year of high school to apply). For that reason, Counselors in Training are registered for the program by their parent/guardian and there is a weekly fee for participation in the program.

3. Registration for the CIT program has 3 parts:

   1. Registration submitted by the parent along with $15 registration fee,

   2. Written application and personal references submitted by the student, and

   3. A review of the application and references by the Camp of Champions USA staff prior to acceptance into the CIT program.

4. The CIT Program is designed to give your junior high school student an introduction to the leadership and discipleship experiences required to serve on the Camp of Champions USA summer staff team. As such, we hold all participants in the CIT program to a high standard of character, work ethic, and behavior. Repeated instances of violating Camp of Champions USA rules and policies may result in dismissal from the program.
