Windham-Tolland 4-H Camp counselors are 18 + ( in some cases we do have staff that are 16-17 as part of Counselor-in-Training program). Staff not part of our CIT program have graduated high school, and most are enrolled in a higher education program. We refer to them as youth development professionals. Each counselor undergoes 10 days of thorough training prior to the start of camp, covering topics such as safety and risk management issues, team building, counseling skills and communication and teaching skills.
