A “Counselor-In-Training” also known as “CIT” is a rising 9th-12th grader. The CIT has a high level of responsibility during camp and depending on their leadership skills, responsibility, and overall work ethic, gives them the potential to be a paid Camp Counselor once they turn 18. Students already attending Admiral Farragut Academy have priority and applying does not guarantee a spot due to limited space.
Cost: $120/week, which includes 2 camp staff t-shirts. Accepted CITs may earn community service hours.
Application Process: All applicants must apply and be approved by the camp directors to become a CIT. Applicants who do not attend Admiral Farragut Academy and are 16 years or older must be fingerprinted. CITs will be notified of acceptance once all paperwork and the teacher recommendation have been received. If the camp director determines that the CIT would not be the best fit after reviewing the registration, the student’s past discipline, and the teacher’s recommendation for the “CIT” position, you will be notified and receive a full refund.
All CITs Must:
- Submit one teacher recommendation emailed to jgrabowski@jaxbeachcams.net.
- Attend a Mandatory Training Session.
Returning CITs:
- Do not need to submit teacher recommendations, they only need to complete the registration and attend the mandatory meeting.
