Any date changes or camp cancellations need to be completed by May 18. No refunds will be issued after that date.

Camp Apex at the Apex Center

Camp Apex at the Secrest Recreation Center

CIT (Counselor in Training) at the Secrest Recreation Center

Ages 13-15

The CIT (Counselor in Training) summer program is designed for teens who enjoy working with younger kids and who are interested in learning job/life skills. CIT program is offered Tue.-Fri.

Fees:

Weekly Fee: Res. $140 (non-res. $200)
Field Trips: Additional $25 and up on weekly fee; depending on trip

The vision for the summer is to guide and train the CIT’s to become self-aware, confident, and capable leaders of tomorrow. In doing so, this summer is jam packed with not only interactive, weekly trainings but also games, activities and special field trips for the CIT’s to gain real life social and professional skills along the way.

Our goals this summer include:

Develop youth leadership skills through social awareness, volunteerism, group lead activities, organizing and implementing fundraising activities, demonstrating responsibility for self and others, as well as confidence building opportunities.

CIT’s will encourage youth participation, experiencing other perspectives, collective planning and implementation of activities, along with journaling their experience. All to begin building a working tool box to carry with them wherever they go.

CIT’s will be challenged to weekly discussions, learning to work and communicate within a team, and improving leadership skills while understanding and respecting of others and taking accountability.

My expectation for this summer is to inspire our CIT trainees to grow and be challenged to think creatively and outside of the box. If you have any further questions regarding this program, please contact me at SecrestStaff@ApexPRD.org.
