COUNSELORS IN TRAINING

We are excited to offer the Counselor in Training (CIT) program for summer 2025! This program is designed to train teens to be successful recreation leaders. Teens will gain valuable experience and have fun adventures that will stay with them forever. They will learn useful leadership skills, get hands-on training with young children, and meet new people. They will attend intensive training led by Martinez Community & Recreation Services Staff. During the summer, CITs will put their training to use by working closely with staff to supervise and lead activities for campers.

Please Note: To be considered for this program, accepted applicants must be able to attend a mandatory CIT training on Monday, June 9th and Wednesday, June 11th. If you are unable to make this commitment, we cannot accept your application this summer.
