CIT programs are for youth going into 8th - 11th grade. CIT’s participate in trainings to learn how to become a great counselor and develop skills in activity planning, child development, effective leadership styles and more. The CIT program allows youth to gain valuable work experience and explore future career possibilities as they work with the campers and staff at their specific camp to further develop their skills.

First Year CIT's are new to being a CIT at a Newton Parks and Recreation Camp.  First Year CIT's can participate in 1 first year CIT session per camp. 

Returning CIT's have participated in a CIT session in a previous summer at a Newton Parks and Recreation camp.  Returning CIT's can participate in one or both sessions.  Please note - for Camp Echo Bridge, returning CIT's must have completed the program at Camp Echo Bridge in a previous summer and can only do 1 session.
