YMCA Counselor in Training (CIT), Leader in Training (LIT) Programs

Taking place at a YMCA camp, CIT and LIT programs provide a unique opportunity for young people to develop leadership skills that can be used at home, school and in the community — not just at camp. LITs (ages 13-15) focus on working with younger campers and contributing to the community, while older CITs gain the experience they need to apply to be a counselor at camp next summer. Both programs help young people build their skills, confidence and capacity for leading people of all ages.
