                                                     Staff and Counselors
          Becoming a Member of the Team

 

 

The counselors, assistant counselors, and CITs (counselors-in-training) are the heart of Camp Thurman. When we add to the staff, we are very careful in our choices. 

How We Build Our Staff

Teenagers who have turned 13 and have finished 7th grade, may attend CIT-IT Training Camp and begin the journey which will lead them into becoming a full-time counselor.  For information on this camp, click here.  If you will have finished 8th grade by summer and you will be at least 14 years old by June 11, 2010, then you are eligible to apply for one of our staff positions.
