Sleepaway Camp Programs

Programs for All Ages

Our program model emphasizes group work at the cabin level throughout the entire first Monday of a session. Monday night your camper will select activities for the remaining days of the week. There is however one period in the daily schedule when your campers will regroup with the cabin and progress through a circuit of activities. On Tuesday, it may be the challenge course. On Wednesday, a canoe trip across the lake, and so on through the week. The remaining periods are free for your camper to choose and learn specific skill development. Learn as a group, apply as an individual.

CIT Program - Age 16
The goal of the CIT program is to help adolescents gain basic leadership experience and community-living skills. While it is not necessary for a CIT candidate to want to be a future counselor at camp, much of the practical experience and skills will be aimed toward that possibility.

CIT is a program for adolescents at a time in life when they are in a long transition from childhood to young adult. The CIT program will help participants decide if they have an interest in working with younger children at camp or in other settings.

Applicants must submit a registration, CIT application, three references, and complete a phone interview or in person.
