This camp offers you the best of both worlds. 

1)  It is a leadership training program:

• CITs develop leadership skills to know how to plan events, keep young campers safe and entertained, and communicate effectively with different age groups
• Coordinate the mitzvah projects and Fun Days—from idea to execution—for the Ruach camps
• Earn community service credit

2)  It’s a lot of fun:  take the opportunity to hang out with other teens, go on CIT-only field trips and also to be a hero to the younger campers.

“My daughter really enjoyed her summer as a CIT. She felt like she contributed as well as learned new things.”
