“This summer, I was accepted as a CIT – or counselor in training- at a summer camp in New Hampshire where I had been going for years. It’s a sleepaway. I lived there for a month and worked the entire time without pay. It was all just volunteer hours. I got to train in cabins with little kids and work with them. I got to teach different classes and instructionals. Everything was just a lot of fun. To be able to work with the kids and work on leadership skills and being a counselor while still being with my best friends at my summer home [was great].”
