Hadracha: Counselors in-Training

Become a Counselor-in-Training at the JCC’s Andrew Hansen Mandell Summer Camp in Maitland and work with campers in grades 1-3.  Learn the fundamentals of leadership, responsibility, individual growth, and social skills, while benefiting from a training program with close supervision.  CITs get special social activities with each other, participate in all field trips with their campers, and receive first aid training. Certification requires at least five weeks of camp participation, and certain pre-camp training sessions are required.  For more information, contact the JCC’s Youth Department.
