Counselor in Training Camps

Camp Wonder at the Howell Nature Center offers additional specialized Overnight Leadership and Excursion Camp experiences for teenage campers, both onsite and off. Whether heading out on an excursion or learning the skills to become a counselor, teens will get in-depth experiences, have a blast with their peers, and grow as leaders.

Counselor in Training
Entering Grades 11 – 12
Two-Week Program July 14 – 26, July 28 – August 9
Counselor In Training (CIT) is a perfect introduction to camp counseling. The program is now a two-week experience that includes a four-day camping trip to the Rifle River. CITs start their week on a mini excursion where they will bond as a group, learn valuable leadership skills, and tube down the Rifle before coming back to camp. Upon their return, CITs will spend the weekend at camp and then are paired with counselors the second week to learn first-hand how to be a good role model in an overnight camp setting.
