Counselor in Training (CIT)

CIT program is the pinnacle of the Rockmont camper experience.

Here are a few aspects of the program that our enrolled CIT’s are getting really excited about:

• CIT Exclusive adventure trips off-camp (climbing, mountain biking, paddling, hiking, and trips to town!)
• CIT skills & activities at camp
• More down-time with CIT friends around camp
• CIT group discussions on personal growth, leadership, faith, life, etc.
• Leadership skills and experience that will prepare CIT’s for life on staff at Rockmont and beyond!

“I believe through a culture of FUN, and the planned (and unplanned!) adventures along the way, lifelong friendships will sprout up between the guys. Being a part of the CIT program will not only prepare and encourage you to come back as counselors in the future, but, and most importantly, I believe it will offer you the ideal opportunity to find the direction and encouragement you need to bring “camp” into your everyday life.”

– Paxton, One of your 2024 CIT Directors!

CIT2

For Returning CITs who are in 11th Grade for the 2026/2027 School Year

Returning CITs that completed 11th Grade in the 2024/2025 School year are eligible for the CIT2. Applying for the CIT2 program includes a separate application filled out by your son, and an interview with a Rockmont Director. Space is intentionally limited and not all applicants will be accepted. No deposit or balance will be charged until the applicant is enrolled.

The CIT 2 program is an opportunity to experience your final year as a camper while also bridging the gap between being a camper and a staff member. In order to make that happen, here are a few aspects of the program:

• As opposed to living together in Grey Eagle, CIT2’s live in cabins with campers, assisting the counselor with their cabin duties at night
• Leadership skills and experience that will prepare CIT2’s for life on staff as a Rockmont Counselor
• CIT2’s have the freedom to choose their own skills and adventure trips
• Priority applications for future staff positions
• Opportunity for leadership roles in skills
• The CIT Retreat, an off-camp adventure trip where  CIT’s and CIT2’s dive deep into group discussions on personal growth, leadership, faith, and life.
• Reduced dining hall responsibilities
• Leadership experience that will prepare them for college

Hear from Justin Bennett, our Program Director

“The CIT 2 program is a transformative journey that adds depth and excitement to the CIT experience. Further shaping the foundation laid by the CIT program, CIT 2’s will continue to sculpt themselves into adept leaders and active contributors within the camp community and beyond. By embracing the profound significance of responsibility, this program is a catalyst, calling CITs to engage with Camp from a fresh perspective, one illuminated by the importance of leadership. As they embrace these roles, they will enrich their personal growth and better prepare themselves for the first year of college.”
