Camp Anglewood Counselor In Training (CIT) Program 2015 Season

Camp Anglewood
Counselor In Training (CIT) Program
2015 Season
After each camp season, it seems that most of our group 12 campers would like to return to Anglewood. In the past, with Anglewood’s enrollment stopping after 12 or 13
year olds, these campers had limited opportunities to attend. Beginning with the 2011
season, Camp Anglewood began a formal CIT Program to allow some of our loyal group
12 campers to continue their time with us. We will continue this program in 2015, although with some revisions from prior year.
As you may know, Anglewood has developed most of our future counselors from our
campers. This new CIT program will bridge some of the gap between camper and junior
counselor.
Below are some of the key elements of the 2015 Camp Anglewood CIT Program.
Eligibility:
 Only open to 13, and 14 year olds who attended camp in the prior year.
 CIT’s may attend any number of weeks up to the full 9 week season.
 CIT’s are expected to provide their own transportation. Camp Transportation
may be available after car groups are formed and extra space is available. However, Camp Anglewood is not obligated to provide transportation for CITs.
2015 Cost:
 $375.00 per week expluding transporation, or
 $425.00 per week including transportation.
 A deposit of $375 is required with the CIT application.
 The balance of CIT Program fee is due by May 1st.
