C.I.T
Program

Our Counsellor in Training Program was initially created to provide teenagers with preliminary training on what it takes to be a Laurus camp counsellor. Here at Laurus, we believe that the best way to set up our future camp counsellors for success is to introduce them to theory and practical trainings in the field, as well as mentorship under some of our most experienced staff members.

See our Weekly C.I.T Program Schedule

The Laurus Counsellor-in-Training (C.I.T.) Program caters to 15 year olds that aspire to be camp counsellors and work in the field of childcare.


Over a 3 week period, our future camp counsellors will touch on the following modules:

- Week 1: Camp Roles

- Week 2: Childcare & Safety (C.P.R. certification included)

- Week 3: Activity Planning


Each module contains a group activity and a quiz which may also be done in small groups as a collaborative lesson. Quizzes will be available in their C.I.T. Program Guide, alongside a plethora of activities that they are expected to complete during their time at Laurus.

Once having completed all three modules, our Counsellors-in-Training will receive an official Laurus C.I.T. Program Completion certificate as well as proof of their valid Heart&Stroke C.P.R. certification .

Together, our 3-week Counsellor-in-Training Program will teach our C.I.T's about the basics of childcare and prepare them for their entry into the world of childcare, hopefully with us the following year.
