Registration for Summer 2024 Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is going on now.
Details:
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program is a 4-week experience for campers completing the 9th and 10th grade who are not 16 years old. It provides leadership opportunities that prepare teens to become staff members and leaders at camp or elsewhere. 
The Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA CIT program is designed to enhance interpersonal and communication skills while fostering independence and self-awareness. Successful participants will come away from this program with valuable leadership skills that will serve them well at home, in school, and in their own community. CIT’s are campers while preparing for future potential opportunities as camp counselors.
Camper applicants must complete the CIT application to be considered for the program. Entry into the program is competitive and is based upon the completed application.
Please contact Katie Lizer at klizer@fspymca.org for any questions about the CIT program.
Rates & Dates:
Cost for the program is $1200 for the 4 weeks. A deposit of $100 is due at the time of registration and will be deducted from the session tuition. CIT participants must also be active members of the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Y during their session.
Session: June 24- July 19 (4 weeks)
CIT Application, Registration and Payment:
CIT Application: Interested participants must complete the CIT application online or in-person at our Welcome Center to be considered for the program.

CAMP PAYMENTS
Final camp payment/balances are scheduled to be charged to the credit card/EFT provided at the time of registration unless arrangements are made in advance with the Director to pay by cash or check. Payments will be due in full and must be scheduled for automatic payment on the dates listed in the camp brochure.
Changes and cancellations must be made 3 weeks prior to your camp session start date.
Changes and cancellations can be made by emailing Katie Lizer at klizer@fspymca.org Welcome Center. Deposits are non-refundable.
A YMCA credit of a camp balance that has been paid (minus the $100 deposit) will only be given if 3 weeks’ notice is given prior to the start of the camp session. If the Y cancels a camp or enrichment program, a full credit or refund is issued. All system credits are good for one year from date processed.
