What is CILT?
It’s a two-year leadership training program for Explorers who are interested in learning the skills needed to be a camp counselor.
The CILT experience prepares young women to learn and apply principles of leadership and discipleship that they can use throughout their lives. It will also deepen their knowledge of Scripture and increase their skills in camp activity areas.
How much work is involved?
- At camp one activity period will be the CILT class. Homework will be assigned each day.
- At home between summers:
- Monthly online video meetings about 30-45 minutes
- Essentials of Salvation module done altogether one Saturday
- Individual Bible study on Philippians done online with the CILT instructor
- Resource file to be completed by the following summer
What is expected of CILTs?
CILTs are held in great esteem by younger campers. Therefore, CILTs are expected to exhibit a servant attitude and set a good example in cooperation and discipline.
CILTs are expected to be in regular attendance at a Bible-teaching church.
What does it cost?
CILT 1 costs the normal fees for weeks 1 and 2 (weekend stayover is free) plus $15 for materials. All CILT 1 applicants are eligible to apply for a CILT campership covering the cost of one week of camp.
