Counselors in Training
Experienced teens aged 15-17
After completing the Leaders-In-Training program or at age 16, teen leaders can sign up to be a Counselor-In-Training (CIT). This can be done in one season or over multiple seasons.
The Counselor in Training program is a week of advanced leadership development designed to strengthen the passions and abilities of those who find themselves wanting to make a difference. These leaders will be paired with a counselor for the week and given numerous opportunities to lead through activities, lessons, and role modeling for the younger campers. You will spend the week bonding with and leading the campers of the group you are chosen to work with, and with the learning from the counselor you are assigned to. The counselor will watch over and help guide you, teaching you to make the most out of every moment you have with your campers. By the end of the week, you will walk away with a deeper understanding of leadership, and a truly applicable skill set to make a difference.
Counselors in Training must attend an 8-hour training session in May, dates TBA.
Counselors in Training is offered every week of the season. For more information contact us.
Camp Twigs, Nashville Sail Camp, Mountain Bike Camp, and Teen Leaders are camps from Leadership Academy. These camps are permitted in partnership with Nashville Metro Parks.
