Learn the skills required to become a “Counsellor in Training” during Â鶹´«Ã½’s 2025 Summer Camps. Participants will receive instruction in various Â鶹´«Ã½ summer camp activities. This will include team building activities, expectations as a “CIT”, and how to be a helpful assistant to the camp counsellors. Activities also include a review of professionalism in the workplace, how to write a cover letter and resume, and how to take initiative. After the successful completion of this training session, attendees will have the opportunity to volunteer for 2025 camp programming at Â鶹´«Ã½. Volunteer hours can be applied to the 40-hour community involvement requirement to receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
