Counselor In Training Program

Are you interested in having a fun summer while gaining job experience? The Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is the right fit for you! If you are too young to apply for a paid Recreation Leader position but want to learn how to lead activities for children of all ages, the CIT program is a beneficial and rewarding experience. The Millbrae Recreation Department is seeking enthusiastic, dedicated, and hardworking applicants ages 13 – 15 years of age for the 2026 Summer CIT Program. Applicants must have completed eighth grade prior to the beginning of summer camp. CITs enjoy the excitement of summer camp while expanding their personal identity through purposeful experience-based learning and serving as a positive role models for young children!

 

CITs learn the ropes of being a Recreation Camp Leader at our very own Millbrae Adventure Recreation Camp. This program provides experience in the field of recreation and is excellent for career development, especially for youth exploring careers in education, youth development, and public service. The CIT program offers the opportunity to learn new skills in a work-life environment and is a great addition to resumes. Recreation Staff members will provide support, encouragement, and training throughout the summer to CITs.

 

The responsibilities of a CIT can vary and depend on the needs of the camp each day. The CIT’s primary obligation is to provide support to Summer Camp Staff. Tasks can range from helping campers with a project or participating in an activity, to organizing supplies and assisting Summer Camp Staff with the supervision of children.

 

In addition to gaining hands-on experience, CITs will take part in a Lunch & Learn Series.  Recreation Staff will lead discussions of job-skill topics that apply to your career beyond being a CIT.  The Lunch & Learn topics include:

  • Time Management
  • Professionalism, Taking Initiative, Problem-Solving, Public Speaking
  • Leadership Development
  • How to Accept Feedback and Evaluations
  • How to Utilize CIT Experience in Interviews
  • Resume Building

 

All CITs will apply by filling out a CIT Application, which open on February 2, 2026. Applications will be reviewed, and applicants will then be sent information about interviewing with the Recreation Coordinator. All applicants are required to interview to be accepted as a CIT and cannot register for the program until they have been accepted. If selected, participants will register for a fee for the 8 weeks of summer camp beginning June 9, with a training day taking place a week prior.
