CILT I (Camper in Leadership Training Application)
Dear Camper:
You are now at the age where you can become a CILT at CCC! In addition to this application a camper registration is also needed. Registration for camp is online.
The Camper in Leadership Training (CILT) program provides you with the unique and practical challenge for high school age campers with leadership potential. Boys and Girls will have opportunities to increase your skills and abilities working with children while deepening your knowledge and application of Scripture, all while gain a variety of leadership experiences. CILT will train you for future leadership and service in camp, your church, and community.
CILT course is a two-year program -- CILT I and CILT II. Each year usually consists of two weeks for both boys and girls during two consecutive summers, plus assignments to be completed during the school year between summers.
Under adult supervision, CILTs gain practical experience by working with younger campers -- leading songfests, games, Bible studies, and evening programs; helping with cookouts; teaching camp skills; and assisting in camp functions. CILTS also choose camp activity skills as specialties, progressing through achievements to high levels of proficiency, which often include certification from national organizations. CILTs learn to demonstrate and teach their specialty skills to younger campers.
