▌ Editor's read The Counselor in Training (CIT) program at Camp Kulaqua is an overnight program designed for young people aged 15-17, or those entering 10th-12th grade, as stated on the 'Counselor in Training' page. The camp is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, indicated by the 'About Us' section of the main website, which describes Kulaqua as a 'Seventh-day Adventist Camp and Retreat Center.' The program focuses on developing leadership skills, spiritual growth, and practical experience in camp counseling, with participants assisting counselors and working with campers. The website mentions that CITs will 'learn what it takes to be a great counselor' and 'grow in their relationship with God.' Social media links for Instagram (@campkulaqua) and Facebook (@CampKulaqua) are present on the main camp website.
Who thrives here Age 17
Counselor in Training Camp serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in religious, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
