Counselor in Training, Rainbow Day Camp

JCC Rainbow Day Camp is looking for individuals for our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program! This program is designed for high school students entering their sophomore or junior year of high school, who are eager to embark on a fun, rewarding, and skill-building summer experience.

The CIT Program focuses on developing essential leadership skills that prepare teens to become successful camp staff members. Participants will engage in both independent and team-based activities, honing critical skills such as trust-building, creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective communication—all within the dynamic environment of a summer camp.

In addition to fostering leadership, the program unites teens from different communities across Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties, creating a shared experience of growth, collaboration, and fun. CITs will gain hands-on experience through various training sessions, including CPR certification, community service projects, activity planning and leadership, field trips to other summer camps, and more.

• All applicants must complete the interview process.
• Applicants who are available for the full 4-week duration of the program will be given priority.

Final Decisions will be made by end of day on Friday May 15.

The CIT program is:

• A chance for personal skill development, as well as leadership development, and growth.
• A hands-on training program for future counselors.
• A learning opportunity focused on working with children and developing programing.
• An opportunity to challenge interpersonal relations through intentional training sessions and coaching.
