Overnight Horse Camp For Girls

• Returning Campers who are 16 or 17 years old, going into Junior or Senior year of high school* 
• Must be interested in contributing to the camp culture and community in a new capacity 
• Must have an interest in developing their sense of personal responsibility and initiative

*We encourage any campers who are still eligible by age to remain in the camper program. Campers who are 15 years old but are starting 11th grade or who are 16 years old and not yet in 11th grade and are interested in the CIT program, please reach out to SJ to discuss options.

Being a CIT is a great way to stay involved with the camp community now that you’re older. You’ll experience a new side of camp, helping to make the magic that you experienced happen for younger campers.

The CIT application process and program mimic a “first job” experience. Applying for jobs, interviewing, and meeting expectations in the workplace for the first time can be a challenge. Why not do it at camp where you are familiar with the setting and your supervisors have a vested interest in your success? You will have guidance, instruction, and support through the summer, and will leave with a few new additions to your resume. If you need volunteer hours, internship paperwork, or other documentation, we encourage you to let us know! We’re happy to help facilitate.
