become a c.i.t. at curious jane!
for middle school students
Our counselor-in-training program is open to girls entering 7th–9th grades. It is a great opportunity for middle school students to help campers, to learn from each other, and to contribute and grow as part of a strong group.
Though CITs have been part of Curious Jane Camp since (almost!) the beginning, the program has changed and improved over time, becoming its best iteration as CIT Studio.
Through the CIT Studio program, middle school participants can sign up for one or two weeks at the location of their choice. CITs meet as a group during the first half of the day – for training, discussion, project-making, and project-planning. During the second half of the day – CITs work in pairs directly with camper groups. Each pair of CITs works with the same camper group over the course of the week. They assist the instructor, help the campers, and lead activities they have designed and developed themselves.
This is a fee-based program; there are no applications required, and spots fill quickly.
You can read more about the program here, and we hope you will join us!
