Junior Counselor-In-Training (CIT)
Students Entering Grades 7-9 in Fall 2026
Our Junior Counselor-In-Training (CIT) pre-teen leadership program helps them develop valuable team-building, organization, and communication skills. CITs will receive training in behavior and team management, creativity, and interpersonal skills. Our hands-on learning environment allows CITs to practice responsibility by leading many of PSLA's summer camp activities and managing a small group of campers.
CITs will also get to spend time playing games, socializing, and bonding with each other and campers.
Through this program, our goal is to provide pre-teens a summer camp training program that fosters personal growth, encourages strong relationships, and enables CITs to practice leadership while having fun!
Note: The Junior CIT program is application-based, costs $100 per week and is limited to 4 Junior CITs per week. It is also a requirement to be a Junior CIT if kids are interested in coming back to PSLA as a counselor.
