Additional information
CITs assist Outback teachers as they lead kids (K-6th grade) in a variety of activities. CITs learn important job skills, model leadership to younger children, attend beach and field trips, help manage the program space, interact with and support campers, work collaboratively with other CITs, and plan and work towards personal goals. Commons activities are assisting the program with daily cleaning and set up/break down, supporting staff and campers during daily transitions, assisting teachers with activities by providing help to individual youth and getting supplies.
