Marinwood Summer Camp: Counselor In Training

Delve into the wilderness of leadership and growth at Marinwood Summer Camp, where the focus is on nurturing young minds through their Counselor in Training program. It's an adventure that's more than just marshmallows and campfires—it's a journey towards responsibility and empowerment. The Counselor in Training program is a playground for young leaders, a space where they can polish their skills and groom themselves to guide future campers. It's not just about learning the ropes, but also about learning to lead and inspire. Every day, these brave Counselors in Training (CITs) work shoulder to shoulder with seasoned camp staff, uncovering the daily operations of running a camp. With a balance of training sessions, observation periods, and hands-on practice, CITs blossom into problem-solving pros and leaders who can navigate the wilderness of camp logistics with ease. From facilitating camp activities to supervising the young campers and fostering a safe and enjoyable environment, their role is vital. They are the heroes behind the scenes, the ones who make the magic happen. And the best part? Even if they choose not to take on the mantle of camp counselor the following summer, the experience shapes them. They leave the camp with more than just a backpack full of memories—they leave with life skills, lasting friendships, and experiences that are as valuable as gold. So, let's kindle the fire of leadership with Marinwood's Counselor in Training program. Because this is where young leaders are born, beneath the open sky and among the whispering trees.
