The Audubon Society of RI’s Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program is designed for youth, ages 13 to 15, who enjoy the summer camp experience and have an interest in becoming a camp counselor. This program is open to teens who have attended Audubon camps or other camps, and have a keen interest in science, nature, and being outdoors.

Please note, we have only a few spots per week available at each location, so apply today! If selected to be a Counselor-in-Training, the cost is $200 per week (up to 3 weeks maximum), but we encourage all families to apply for 50% or 85% scholarships.

Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability:

What are your favorite things about camp?

What do you hope to learn from being a CIT?

What experience do you have working with younger children?

In a few sentences, please explain what abilities, interests, skills or knowledge you have to share with the campers.

Why should we choose you as a CIT?

Please note:

We have only a few spots per week available at each location.
All CIT applicants will have a short interview either by Zoom or phone.
If selected, you will be notified by email or phone. At that time, you will be sent the camp registration form (including the required health forms) to be completed for the camper, and you must pay the owed camp cost.
If you would like to offset the $200 Counselor-In-Training camp cost, we welcome you to apply for a scholarship at AudubonSummerCamp.com
