Program: Counsellor-in-Training (3 week program)
Price: $425
Ages: 15-16
Time: 8:30am-4:30pm
The Counsellor-In-Training program is a mixture of workshops and in-camp experiences that will allow you to grow and be prepared to be a counsellor at Gryphon Summer Camps in the future. You must be dedicated and ready to commit to this four week experience.
During the first week you will attend a variety of workshops (similar to camp staff training). These workshops will allow you to learn new skills and strengthen other skills necessary to work with our campers along with understanding Gryphon Camp policies.
For the following three weeks, you will be a counsellor and work on a team in a camp program, while planning and facilitating your own activities. The CIT Program Director will follow up with you weekly along with facilitating Wednesday morning workshops to strengthen your skills and give you more camp "tools". This program is ideal for those that are not quite of age but want to be a counsellor in the near future.
The Gryphon Camp Directors will work together to create a strong support structure for each Counsellor In Training. Our senior leadership team are positive role models that will always be close by to assist and encourage self-development. Counsellor-In-Training participants will be seen as staff member and be evaluated for future employment.
Please note that we reserve the right to withdraw an individual from the in-camp portion with a full refund if they are not prepared for the experience.
