Any expertise you may have in certain activities or prior experience with youngsters is a valuable asset. CIT programs are recognized by the Association des camps du Qu bec. The objective of the 200-hour training program is to prepare young people for future employment in camps. The program covers the role, responsibilities and tasks of counsellors, children and their needs, activities and animation, safety and preventive measures and first aid. Not only does the program prepare aspiring candidates for future jobs as counsellors, but working as a counsellor helps develop important qualities and valuable skills.
Some camps welcome groups and families during certain seasons, even year round.
To learn if a camp welcomes groups or families, refer to their fact sheet in the directory of accredited camps available on the Web or in printed format.
