Counselor-in-Training
Scouts 15 years old (as of July 1) can be trained as summer camp staff through the counselor-in-training (CIT) program by volunteering for two or more weeks, experiencing what it is like to work at summer camp. At Pacific Crest Council camps, CITs must attend staff orientation and other mandatory camp trainings.
Adult Volunteers
To help supplement the camp staff, we welcome volunteers over the age of 18 to give their time and expertise to one or more weeks during the summer. Positions may include serving as a commissioner, health officer, assistant ranger, camp chaplain, super-troop leader, and more. All camp positions start by submitting this form.
