CIT Summer Program

Viking Sports Camps will be offering a Counselor In Training program during the summer of 2012.  An extension of Viking Sports Camps, the C.I.T. program aims to give future coaches an opportunity to experience the many intricacies of becoming a sport leader.  C.I.T.’s may choose to be in our Brookline or one of our suburb sites (C.I.T.’s must provide their own transportation).  Applicants will be selected based on their application, interview, and references. 

While in the C.I.T. program, participants will be paired with seasoned Viking coaches, and will be assigned to a group of campers.  Under the supervision of Viking staff, C.I.T.’s will learn, practice, and independently demonstrate many skills required of the youth sport coach.  C.I.T.’s will be taken through a cumulative coach and leadership education curriculum specifically tailored for high school students.  Following Monday training sessions, C.I.T.’s will receive rubrics outlining specific goals and objectives for the week.  Viking coaches, the Camp Director, and the C.I.T. Coordinator will evaluate the C.I.T.s’ performance using the weekly rubrics as evaluation tools.  Friday meetings will be held to “debrief” the C.I.T.’s on their weekly goals and objectives.  

 Please note that a position as a Viking C.I.T. is NOT a guarantee for future employment.
