It takes a special, responsible and fun-loving teenager to work with children.

Campers train to become responsible, skilled, and caring counselors who take initiative and have great imagination. They will spend half a day assisting counselors through rotating assignments in the traditional day, half-day and specialty groups.

The rest of the day they'll participate in traditional camp activities with the other CITs. These activities may include sports, arts and crafts, fishing, boating, go-karts, team-building, leadership training, and guest speakers. Like everyone else at Pine Tree Camps, CITs will have instructional swim every day.
