CAMPER IN LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Do you want to be a role model this summer? Do you love the Christian Camp Experience? Is learning to work with children something you would like to invest your time in? Will you be 14 or 15 years old this summer?
If so, our Camper in Leadership Training (CILT) Program is designed with you in mind. This program will help you gain leadership experience and serve as a role model for younger campers while assisting counselors and staff with summer camp activities. CILTs will grow in character, confidence, and leadership led by experienced Program Directors and Summer Staff members serving as mentors. By learning to lead campers in games, songs, and Bible Discovery, CILTs get to be a part of making camp fun! To help these campers build responsibility, CILTs are required to fill out an application and attend a CILT training event to prepare them for their week of camp.
To apply to be a CILT
- Register for the CILT Program/ Training On-line
- Ask 3 people to be references Reference Form (share with your references)
- Follow all steps outlined in the on-line process including coordinating dates with the Gretna Glen Staff team
Once the Gretna Glen Staff has received your application and completed reference forms we will be in touch to register you for the camp program you would like to work with. If possible, be ready with 3 programs that work with your availability so we can place you with the one that works best for yourself and camp.
CILT and Volunteer Training Event
All CILTs must receive training before serving at Gretna Glen. Training will help prepare the CILTs for the experience they will have during their week at camp. We will learn songs, skits, and games along with important safety protocols and procedures for making camp a fun and safe place to be. Please plan, if you are able to attend our in-person training date for CILTs and Volunteers. If you are unable to attend, you will be given a recorded training to watch. We recommend all CILTs try to attend our in-person training as it gives us an opportunity to get to know you and helps makes your week as a CILT great.
2025 Training Date – May 9th at 7:00pm to May 10th at 6:00pm - contact for details.
