The assumption for campers in high school is that they’re faced with the tough decision of spending the summer at home strengthening their college apps through internships and coursework or having a carefree summer at camp. With college admissions being tougher than ever, the pressure to resume build continues to grow. Manitou developed a program that targets these campers and provides opportunities for them to become leaders in action — a learning environment that is unmatched. Beginning with the thirteen and fourteen year olds, our goal is to lay the foundation for dedicated campers to become involved, passionate community members who possess the skill-set to be leaders both in and out of camp, and on their journey into adulthood. CIT & JUNIOR COUNSELOR PROGRAM Forty percent of Manitou’s staff are former campers. These counselors have a passion for camp, for Manitou, and the value it has played in their own growth into adulthood. They understand what it is like to be a first-year camper, what it is like to be homesick, and how meaningful a role model a counselor can be. The foundation for transitioning into counselorhood starts with our CIT and Junior Counselor program. CITs are campers who have completed the 10th grade. To learn more, speak with a director.
