The Counselors In Training of 2011 have been hard at work -- the whole crew of 'em!! They are part of the traditional story of Calumet trainees. Calumet continually goes above and beyond when it comes to requirements and certifications in all kinds of areas ... and Life Guarding is no different. CITs, dating way back, participate in an LGT program during which a whole slew of them become lifeguards by the end of the summer. The Calumet staff of 2011 has between 50 and 60 lifeguards who are available at a moment's notice to guard at the Family Camping Beach, head out on a canoe trip, or teach swimming lessons to Day Camp. Though we have more guards than we "need" -- as far as for accreditation -- we enjoy the flexibility of offering all kinds of water opportunities for both Family Camping and Resident Camp. Keep the CITs in your prayers this summer -- that they'll train hard, get in good shape, and pass their lifeguarding skills tests. They'll likely be in the chair at FC Beach one of these days when you're in town.
In the late afternoon, the clouds came rolling in and the rain came. But it came very fast and ended soon after it started. The hot, humid day turned into a pleasant afternoon -- and there were puddles everywhere. Leave it to Girls Cabin 7 to make the most of the wonderful and messy puddles!! Check it out!
Since 1968, Counselors In Training (CITs) have danced their 16-year old summers away at Calumet.
Now of course, they do more than just dance. CITs and Leadership & Service Corps (L&S) trainees will learn valuable skills this summer that will enable them to be valuable assets at camp, church, school, and anywhere else they might choose or be chosen to lead. Many call their 16-year old summer the “best ever.” It’s easy to see why.
Keep your eyes peeled! We’ll have updates from the 42nd edition of Calumet’s Leadership Training programs here on Boom Chicka Blog throughout the summer…
