▌ Editor's read The website http://www.opalfamilyservices.ca/counsellor-in-training loads successfully and describes a Counsellor in Training (CIT) program for youth aged 14-17. This program is offered by Opal Family Services, which appears to be a Canadian organization based on the '.ca' domain. The program focuses on developing leadership skills, responsibility, and providing hands-on experience working with children with special needs. The program is described as a day program, running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, state or provincial licensing for this specific program, or specific staff-to-camper ratios. The website does not provide information on the founder or years of operation for the CIT program. Opal Family Services has a Facebook page (opalfamilyservices) and an Instagram handle (@opalfamilyservices). No Google reviews specifically for the CIT program were found, but Opal Family Services has a 4.8-star rating from 10 Google reviews, with comments praising their support for families and children with special needs.

Who thrives here Ages 13–17

Counsellor in Training (CIT) 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 specialty, 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.
