(Session 4)

Campers Ages 13-16
New program for teens at Camp Sky-Y. Spend the week based at Camp Sky-Y where half of the day time activities are regular sign-ups or cabin activities, and half are spent doing specific leadership and community service projects. Projects include volunteering at a not-for profit in the town of Prescott and assisting at certain camp specific projects. Leadership activities include team-building, ropes courses, assisting with programs, communication and critical thinking skills. These teens will still participate with their own cabins/villages for the all camp traditions of Opening Jamboree, Unity night, Overnight, Skit night, Dance night, Pinecone dedication and the ALL camp game.
Price: $605
(Sessions 2 and 3 or Sessions 5 and 6)
June 6-19 or June 27 - July 10
Entering Grades 11 or 12
This 2-week program is an introduction to learning working with and teaching children, and learning the roles and duties of a camp staff member. CIT’s will learn song and game leadership, behavior management, teaching camp activities, and the incorporation of YMCA core values in camp life. We will have an opportunity to visit another camp, give a tour of Sky-Y to other CIT’s, assist younger campers in signing up for activities, and help create a fun and exciting all camp event. This camp involves a 2-night overnight camping trip just for CIT’s. We will also focus on improving communication and team building skills with our peers. Campers will have an opportunity to shadow an older camp staff and put some of their learned skills to use by helping as an assistant counselor in a cabin of younger campers. An application is required and CIT’s will be chosen on the basis of maturity, prior leadership, work, volunteer, or childcare experience.
