Counselor Aides in Training (CATs)
Our Counselor Aide in Training (CAT) program is a focused leadership path designed for campers who are 11 and older. It offers young campers a way to build more responsibility and independence at camp as they prepare to step into the role of Counselor Aide.
Partnering with our Head Counselor, CAT participants learn to guide camper behavior in ways that suit each age group, pick up reliable techniques for encouraging other campers, get hands-on practice leading games and activities, and build skills in self- and group reflection and goal setting. Those lessons extend far past camp — campers can put them to use at school, in sports, in extracurricular activities, and in religious groups.
The CAT program runs on the same days and at the same times as regular day camp. Eligible campers need to complete the training only once; after finishing the program, they can serve as a Counselor Aide later that same summer or in summers to come. Space is very limited, so sign up today!
