Teen Leadership CIT Program (13-16)
Amazing opportunity for teens 13-16!
CPR Certified. Real Leadership Experience. Not a Classroom.
A highly engaging, beach-based leadership experience where teens train, practice, and grow—while still having an incredibly fun week of summer. Designed for families who value independence, real-world skills, time in nature, and meaningful connection.
- Daily CPR & First Aid Certification training (not a one-day course)
- Hands-on leadership experience (without being with younger campers all day)
- Paddle boarding, beach time, exploring + real teen connection
- Designed for both first-time AND experienced CITs
What Sets This Program Apart
This program follows a learn → apply → reflect → connect rhythm each day:
- Train: CPR, First Aid, and water safety with a certified instructor (American Heart Association)
- Practice: Real-life leadership scenarios, communication, and child guidance
- Apply: Rotate into camp to work with younger campers in real time
- Reflect: Return to a comfortable home base for discussion, feedback, and growth
- Connect: Paddle boarding, games, picnics, and meaningful teen bonding.
Teens are not placed with younger campers all day—they move between training, real experience, and fun.
