Our Counselor In Training program is designed to prepare campers entering grade 11 for leadership roles within camp. This is a Specialty Camp within the Camp Speers Residential Camp Program.
CIT’s begin learning the ins and outs of what makes Camp a special place. Through a mix of fun and hard work CIT’s learn not only how to be counselors, but how everything from the Administrative Office to the Kitchen works together to make camp happen everyday. This program is designed for teens in the summer entering grade 11 who may want to work within our resident camp programs in the future. The CIT’s participate in a 3 day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail, plan & implement a service project, spend 1 week living & working with our Eljabar Campers and participate in a Lifeguard Certification course.
New for Summer 2012
Camp Speers-Eljabar YMCA believes that the benefits of our high quality summer camp experience should be avaliable to every child and teen. Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, we ahve instituted a voluntary 4 tier pricing program for our Summer Resident and Day Camp programs.
Tier 1 most closely pays the true cost of camp and tiers 2 and 3 are subsidized rates that enable other families to also send their children to camp. Tier 4 is our open campership program. This is an option for families whose need for financial assistance is greater than can be met through tiers 2 and 3.
Tier 1 - $1736
Tier 2 - $1620
Tier 3 - $1502
Tier 4 - contact our office to request
