| During the second two weeks, CITs will be assigned to a specific section. This part of the program will allow the CITs an opportunity to put into practice the skills they have developed. During this time, CITs will be assigned to a mentor (veteran camp staff) and become an active member of a counselling team. While gaining practical experience, they will: - assist with activity skills lessons - assist with the supervision of evening activities - assist with the planning and organizing of a section "Special" (group activity with forty campers) - assist in cabins at camper bedtime - assist with the supervision of campers at meal times. Leadership and counselling skills will be applied in practical situations by: - supervising campers in both small and large groups - dealing with homesick campers - handling minor discipline situations - helping organize and plan camper activities - acting as a positive role model and mentor Evaluation Weekly evaluations of CIT candidates will focus on leadership, peer relations and counselling skills. A formal evaluation will be presented to all CITs at the end of the session. Parents are encouraged to be present for this final evaluation. |
