<strong>Hanover</strong> <strong>Township</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Age</strong> <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Care</strong><br />
Camp HTSACC 2011<br />
CIT Program<br />
Counselor in Training (CIT) Program Description: <strong>Hanover</strong> <strong>Township</strong> residents entering grades 9 and 10<br />
can apply to be a Counselor in Training for Camp HTSACC. The CIT program is designed to train teens to<br />
become leaders and eventually camp counselors. CITS will learn many skills and techniques for leading<br />
activities and directing small groups in a fun setting with their peers. CITs will be supervised by a Group<br />
Leader and/or adult staff at all times, and will participate in Camp meetings and trainings. This program is<br />
excellent for someone who wants to work with children. It is also a great program to add to a teen’s resume for<br />
college entrance.<br />
Hours:<br />
8:15 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday for the 4 selected weeks<br />
**Note – as CITs are considered campers, if Before or After <strong>Care</strong> is required CITs may be signed up for either or<br />
both programs as campers at the full camp fee.<br />
Sessions: I June 27 – July 22<br />
II July 25 – August 19<br />
CITs may apply for 1 session, but may request a second. Depending on the number of applicants, we will<br />
assign a second session, if available, after all candidates are interviewed and placed.<br />
Location:<br />
Cost:<br />
The Summer program operates at Memorial Junior <strong>School</strong> at 61 Highland Avenue in Whippany. Enter<br />
MJS through the Commons entrance.<br />
CITs are NOT considered part of the Camp HTSACC staff, but rather as campers. As they will have all<br />
of the benefits of full day camp, there is a reduced fee to attend. As with our Camp, the cost of all trips<br />
and transportation is included in the fee. CITs will pay $400.00 per 4 week session to attend (regular fee<br />
for 4 full weeks of camp is $800.00). If required, Early and After <strong>Care</strong> is additional, at regular camp fees.<br />
Payment for the CIT session and any additional services is due, in full, when the position is offered and<br />
accepted.<br />
Application Information<br />
Application: Teens interested in being a CIT must apply. The application process includes an interest form, a<br />
brief essay, 2 recommendations and an interview. Upon acceptance, CITs must attend an orientation event in<br />
June in the Memorial Junior <strong>School</strong> Library (date TBD).<br />
Annual Family Enrollment Fee: The Family Enrollment fee of $25.00 must be paid if the CIT has a younger<br />
sibling attending Camp HTSACC. If the CIT does not have a younger sibling attending Camp HTSACC, the<br />
registration fee will be waived. However, all Camp HTSACC registration paperwork and medical forms must<br />
be completed, as is required of all campers, when the position is offered and accepted.<br />
