CIT (Counselor in Training)
Must be 15, have attended URC, and can handle horses.

We like to think that CITs are potential counselors looking for an opportunity to learn and develop into our future leaders. We recognize CITs have leadership skills, and abilities which help make camp a phenomenal place. CITs have opportunities to teach and learn about activities, to plan and to implement programs, and to develop and use skills vital not only to camp, but to the world outside of camp. CITs learn about, amongst other things: How camp is run on a daily basis How to handle and care for horses What skill set is needed to work with kids (conflict resolution, management, etc.) How to communicate with counselors and activity leaders to improve results of programming How the camp’s different personalities mesh together for a common cause Those are only some of the items you will experience as a CIT at camp. You will find that the camp will blend teaching and experiential learning to give you the best possible chance to grow as a potential counselor and as a leader in and outside of camp. URC accepts teens going into their Sophomore year in high school as CITs. Unlike most camps, URC does not charge tuition for CITs but expects them to be helpful to our paid staff.
