The Overnight Camp CiT Program

This month-long program is offered twice per summer. It gives participants a well-rounded overview of the entire Frost Valley Camp Counselor experience. Campers participate in workshops and get firsthand experience working with children. They go on a wilderness trip where they learn to plan meals, set-up, and break-down camp, and use resourcefulness to overcome obstacles. This program gives campers the experience needed to become a camp counselor.

The Adventure CiT Program

In this month-long program, Adventure CiTs participate in leadership training and development, however, this program focuses on creating outdoor adventure leaders. Adventure CiTs spend more time on overnights and learning outdoor teaching skills, such as fire building, water purification, and camping techniques.

CiT coordinators are hired to work with the counselors-in-training. The coordinators are adults experienced in working with teens. They possess outdoor skills, CPR and First Aid training, and familiarity with Frost Valley YMCA’S philosophy and routines. The coordinators are selected on the basis of maturity, level of experience, and sound judgment. Prior to camp, the coordinators will participate in a two-week training program.

The Farm Leaders Program

The Farm Leaders program kicked off their very first summer at Farm Camp in 2014. These campers grow more than just produce – they grow in character by gaining leadership skills, acting as role models, and learning the basics of becoming a camp counselor someday.
