Older Girl Leadership Opportunities at Camp
Barn Program Aide and Camp Program Aide
Gain valuable leadership experience and have fun at this camp
program that expands on your Program Aide training. Camp Program Aides
assist in all areas of camp—waterfront, adventure, office, kitchen,
crafts, and in units – while Barn Program Aides also aide in barn
programs. In between, you’ll get to enjoy camp program areas as a unit.
Counselor in Training (CIT) and Barn Leader in Training (BLIT)
This two-year training program provides you with skills and
knowledge you’ll need to become a successful camp staff member. In
your first year, spend four weeks brushing up on your camp skills,
practicing new leadership skills, and gaining valuable experience
working with campers. BLITs additionally spend time at the barn, and
must have documented riding/horse care experience.
The next year, refine your skills by observing and assisting
experienced staff, and then be fully immersed in working with an
assigned camper group. BLITs can expect to also lead groups at the
barn in lessons and horse care..
