2026 Counselor in Training Summer Program

Next date: Monday, June 08, 2026 | 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM

The Counselor-in-Training Program runs from 8 AM to 4 PM weekdays, June 8, through July 24. (No camp on June 19, or week of June 29)

The Douglasville Parks and Recreation Counselor-in-Training Program is designed to prepare youth with quality job experiences by preparing them for positions as camp counselors or recreation leaders.

Key goals within this program will be developing leadership skills, teamwork, communication and program skills.

CITs will help to organize games and activities with campers and assist the day camp counselors with daily responsibilities.

The CIT program will give youth real world job training and an opportunity to receive volunteer hours for school.

Each participant will be evaluated at the end of the program, and a letter of participation sent to their school.

Registering for the program does not guarantee selection to participate.

We will conduct an additional interview process to identify teens interested in leadership, career development, and youth programming.

Interviews are scheduled for May 18–22, and all applicants will be notified of their admission status by May 25.
