2025 registration is now closed.

Our 2025 Teen CIT (Counselors-in-Training) Camp in Charlottesville, VA is designed to teach and inspire students ages 13-15.

This innovative program offers teens a structured path to develop their leadership potential. Spanning two three-week sessions, the program is divided into certifications for new and returning participants. Completion of a session awards a certificate, marking a significant step in their leadership journey.

Hands-on training experiences and professional development workshops provide the foundation of the program. The students spend their time learning about leadership in the morning, including practice in resume writing and interview skills. UVA professionals visit the program to share information about different career paths. Students practice their skills mentoring the campers in the afternoon. Students learn basic safety, group control, games, camp best practices and valuable employment skills.

Registration + Application process must be completed by May 22. See below for more details.
