🌿 Counselor in Training Camp: Step into Leadership! 🌟

Are you ready to take the next step from camper to mentor? The Forest Floor Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is an exciting opportunity for teens ready to lead, teach, and inspire the next generation of nature explorers!

🔥 Telling a captivating story during morning circle
🎯 Leading a game that gets everyone moving
🔥 Starting a fire using a bow drill
🌲 Teaching hands-on wilderness skills

This camp includes an overnight campout with dinner and breakfast on Thursday!

More details will be shared when we get closer to the time.
