Counselor in Training
Entering Grades 9 – 12
July 16-21, July 30 – August 4
Counselor In Training (CIT) is a perfect introduction to camp counseling. CITs enjoy classic activities, while learning valuable skills. CITs are then paired with counselors and learn how to be a role model in an overnight camp setting.
SOA Scholarships-Tuition Assistance
Because we believe every child should have the opportunity to experience summer camp regardless of their inability to pay, the Howell Nature Center has a Tuition Assistance Program graciously funded by The Spirit of Alexandria Foundation. If your family is in need of financial assistance for your child(ren) to attend summer camp, please start by creating an account and register your campers. Complete all required forms, then fill out the SOA Scholarship Application- this electronic form is located in Step 3 of the online registration process. Then pay required deposits. You will be notified of your award amount via email after your application has been reviewed. Applications are reviewed on the first Monday of every month, January-May.
Please Note: SOA Scholarships are available based on financial need.
