Counselors in Training will foster their leadership skills while caretaking for the animals, plants, and young campers in our community. CIT’s will have fun doing team-building activities, playing in the children’s garden and orchard, and on local field trips with their fellow CIT’s.

Within their CIT cohort and in Roots Camp chavurot (groups with younger campers), CIT’s will learn how to support counselors and help lead younger campers in games and gardening activities. Each day, CIT’s will have a leadership skill learning block, spend time with a chavurah of younger campers, and do farm activities together. Farm activities may include skill building in the areas of homesteading, farming, and survival skills. Over the three weeks of each session, each CIT will gain more leadership responsibilities with their younger chavurah.
