Camp Locations
For our camps, children are separated by the grade they will enter next fall. Large camps may be split into two locations. Location assignments may change due to enrollment fluctuation.

Counselor In Training Program (CIT):
The Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program teaches valuable leadership skills which will help prepare young adults for the future. CIT’s are placed in responsible positions at camp, where they serve as role models to campers and peers, and learn about respect, responsibility, caring and honesty.

CIT program is open to those entering the 7th-9th grades. New applicants must provide references and complete an interview along with their application. 20 applicants will be admitted into the program. Registration opens March 22. Cost is $300. Outreach financial assistance available for qualifying families. Applicants should plan on dedicating at least 4 weeks to the CIT program. Applicants are welcome all 12 weeks of camp. Questions please contact Isaac Williams at 761-9192 or at iwilliams@jcymca.org.
