▌ Editor's read The Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program at Camp Qwanoes is an overnight program designed for 16-17 year olds, spanning four weeks. The program emphasizes leadership development, practical ministry experience, and spiritual growth, as evidenced by the 'Leadership Training' and 'Spiritual Growth' sections on the program page. Participants gain hands-on experience by serving in various camp roles and receive mentorship from experienced staff. The camp's social media presence (Instagram and Facebook handles provided) suggests an active community. While the website details the program's curriculum and benefits, it lacks specific information regarding staff-to-camper ratios or whether background checks are conducted for staff members.
Who thrives here Ages 16–18
Counselor-In-Training serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in religious, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.

- How much does Counselor-In-Training cost?
- Counselor-In-Training publishes $229/week for the standard session. CAD Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
- What are Counselor-In-Training's hours?

- Does Counselor-In-Training provide lunch?
