CIT TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
FOR RISING 7th – 9th GRADERS
Our Counselors-in-Training Leadership Program blends our signature farm camp—including gardening, feeding chickens, collecting eggs, music, stories, farm-to-fork cooking activities, and nature-based arts and crafts—with skill-building and leadership programming tailored to tweens and teens.
Our CITs spend part of their time amongst peers enjoying fun camp activities, developing leadership skills, forming deep bonds of friendship, and learning about the daily needs of an urban farm. The rest of their time is dedicated to hands-on experience supporting older counselors and helping lead younger campers in games, farming, and arts-based activities.
