The Counselors In Training program is an internship where individuals are selected to assist with younger age groups in Field Institute of Taos camps. C.I.T. applicants must have previous experience as "campers" in our programs and must be at least 11 years old. Applicants should have a high level of enthusiasm, a strong commitment, and the ability to work with groups of children. C.I.T.s, once selected, are required to attend an all-day training session prior to beginning work (Sunday, May 15 from 9 am- 3 pm). This training will cover rules, safety, and suggestions and will include C.I.T's, Junior Counselors and other staff.
C.I.T's will gain valuable experience in leadership, teaching, and teamwork. Each C.I.T. will receive a "letter of reference" upon the completion of their volunteer work, if desired.
