NOTE: This is a two week program! If you need the bus or extended care, make sure to select both weeks in the session options. All CITs will complete First Aid/CPR training and earn their 2-year certification! Hone leadership skills and set up for future success with our Counselor-in-Training program at Coastal Camp! The CIT program is designed to encourage and guide high school students towards being effective leaders in their communities. We provide CITs with the tools they’ll need to lead in actionable, concrete ways, and empower them to be the next generation of environmental stewards, educators, and activists. CITs will enjoy all of the fun of the summer camps they remember from younger days, including making new friends, playing games and hiking the Headlands, with the added experience of leading our elementary-aged campers. They will practice building a structured plan for a day of camp, learn strategies for debriefing activities, and get hands-on practice working with younger participants. CITs will earn their CPR, First Aid, and Epinephrine administration certification from ReadySF! Being a CIT is a great way to learn marketable skills that can be added to resumes or college applications in the future. CITs are encouraged to apply to work at Coastal Camp in future summers! WEEK ONE: Playing, exploring, and learning with Coastal Camp staff! WEEK TWO: CITs will join a group of younger campers where they will help lead activities and hikes!
