Activities Couselors positions:

Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program

The CIT program at Camp Highlander is a five-week training program designed to transition campers into their role as staff.

The program consists of a two-week education period, where the CIT class will live together in a cabin and participate in camp activities as a group while learning the roles and responsibilities of a counselor. During this time they will attend educational sessions, shadow other cabins and counselors, and simulate educational opportunities to better prepare them for their upcoming counselor responsibilities.

For the last three weeks of the program, each CIT will move into a cabin for on-the-job training as an Assistant Counselor, continuing to learn and grow under the leadership and guidance of two older and more experienced counselors.

The CIT Program is designed to create leaders, role models and caring staff members that will continue to serve our Camp Highlander family as phenomenal staff members for many years to come!

We also hire staff members in a variety of additional roles including camp nurses, camp moms, kitchen staff members, photography interns, camp store managers and maintenance personnel.
