    This program trains young leaders to become a counselor in the same fun and safe environment that they have grown up in as campers and provide work skills for their future. These C.I.T.s have the desire to stay in the Camp Doublecreek family as they mature into adults.
  • How:
    T Camp is a 3-day tryout session where applicants participate in interviews, evaluations, team building, work projects, and shadowing group counselors. The cost of T Camp is $200.00 which covers snacks, lunches, a t-shirt, and other training materials. This amount must be paid by check or cash only, but is not due until the first day of T Camp! If the applicant will be attending as a camper the same week they attend T Camp, then your camp account will receive a refund for the days they will miss on the Monday of that week.
