Counselor in Training Program


The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is a wonderful opportunity where teens ages 13-15 will assist with the daily operation of our summer camp programs. Successful participation as a CIT in the summer SPARC program can be used as work experience, a professional reference, and lead toward future employment.
