SUMMARY:Building an Outstanding CIT Program!
DESCRIPTION:Come spend the day evaluating your CIT program!\nFall is the perfect time to give this invaluable program the attention it needs each year and this workshop will include guidance on how to evaluate and reimagine your program. \nWe all know how important our leadership training is and how it plays a major role in hiring in the future\, but too often we put our CIT curriculum aside because it works – CITs are your future leadership and will be moving your camp culture forward! It is essential that camps do not overlook the importance of building and maintaining a strong CIT Program\, as our best staff are already there\, in camp\, in the making. Most importantly\, the CIT participants need to feel that their summer experience is one of professional and personal growth and that being a camp counselor is an important step into their future endeavors. \nBring your curriculum\, program and experiences to share and let’s get to work together. You will walk away with a clearer direction and solid program for summer 2027. A follow up zoom meeting will take place in January for further brainstorming and sharing. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nParticipants will develop specific tools to evaluate effectiveness of existing CIT program.\nParticipants will gain a greater understanding of the key elements in a competitive CIT program.\nParticipants will develop their toolbox of ideas and activities to help CITs grow into effective leaders.\nParticipants will expand their professional network with colleagues in similar roles and experience.\n\nThis workshop is suited for  participants at any stage in their career\, from the most beginner to the highly seasoned CIT Directors/Camp Directors/Camp Professionals (levels 100-300) \n  \nDates & Rates \nWhen: Friday\, October 23\, 2026 from 10:00am to 3:00pm \nWhere: ACA\, New England Office in Lexington\, MA \nCost: Member $85\, non-Member $115 \nClick here to register! \n*Registration is non-refundable but may be transferred to another eligible member of your team prior to the start of the program. \nFinancial assistance is available.
