Best Way To Ruin A Program?

Wait Too Long To Register!

Don’t let LOW ENROLLMENT ruin your program! Most program cancellations are due to not having enough sign-ups for an instructor to run a class! You should register AT LEAST ONE WEEK before your program is scheduled to begin. More often than not, we receive the most calls for registration after we’ve had to cancel a program.

Don’t procrastinate, SIGN UP EARLY!

C.I.T. Program 2016 [Counselor In Training]

Important Dates Monday, March 14 Friday, June 3 Friday, June 10 Wednesday, June 22 Saturday, June 25

Applications become available online and in office Deadline to submit CIT Application Packet & References MUST submit in person at Rec office.

Acceptance/Rejection decisions mailed out Accepted CIT deadline to sign-up for programs Mandatory training for all accepted CITs

What is the CIT Program?

The Counselor in Training Program is designed to give selected High School age students (ages 14-17) the opportunity to learn and develop leadership and teamwork skills in our summer programs. This program is for those students who are seriously interested in learning about leadership and responsibility. The program consists of training and actual work experience with campers under the supervision of a Danvers Recreation staff person. Maturity and a sincere desire to work with children are essential.

How Does It Work?

Danvers Recreation summer programs run for roughly eight weeks. Accepted CITs sign-up for programs on a weekly basis (i.e. CITs may do a week of SNAKE, a week of LPS, a week of Journey’s and so on as long as they fit each program’s requirements). Through supervised group leadership opportunities CITs learn the skills and responsibilities necessary to become a leader by participating in all weekly program events. While in the program, the goal is to have CITs develop values, environmental awareness and the confidence necessary to make the transition from camper to counselor. If accepted, it is essential that CITs attend the full weeks of the program they register for. Participation in this program does not guarantee being hired as a staff member. CITs take from the program what they put into it.

Procedure

Potential CITs can begin picking up/printing out CIT Application packets on March 14, 2016.

CITs should fill out all paperwork and obtain a written teacher reference and return both in person to the Danvers Recreation office by the June 3, 2016 deadline. Applications will not be reviewed if they are submitted after the deadline or if they are incomplete. Danvers Rec Staff will review applications and acceptance/rejection notifications will be sent out on June 10, 2016. If accepted, CITs should arrange to meet with specific program directors if it is in their program criteria, or come in as soon as possible to register for desired programs and weeks.

Registration is based on a first-come first-serve basis and occurs in-office only. Your nonrefundable payment is required upon registering; you may not register without payment under any circumstances. CIT training on June 25, 2016 is mandatory. You may not participate in the CIT program if you do not attend training.

Couch to 5k with Cheryl Marshall Yes, even YOU can go from the couch to running 3 miles! Too many people have been turned off to running simply by trying to start off too fast. Their body’s rebel and they wind up feeling miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to do this to themselves. You should ease into your running program gradually. In fact, the beginners’ program we will do is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from couch potato to runner, getting you running three miles (5k) on a regular basis in just two months! Each session should take about 20-30 minutes, three times a week. That just happens to be the same amount of moderate exercise recommended by numerous studies for optimum fitness. This program will get you fit!
