Camp Clearwater: CILTs
This camp is a leadership development program for teens. Your teen can gain leadership training and experience while serving as a role model for younger campers in support of our counselors and staff.
Registration/Application Process:
- Register Online (beginning Jan. 1 for members, Jan. 15 for non-members)
- Complete this CILT application (new and returning participants)
- Teen attends group interview
-Sat., April 12, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
-Sun., May 4, 1:30 - 3 p.m.
In addition to registering your CILT please fill out this application, regardless of whether or not you are a returning or new participant!
Please DO NOT WAIT TO REGISTER as spots do fill up quickly! Applications and group interviews are not a pass/fail system unless the teen director deems that a participant is concerningly ill-equipped to participate in the CILT program as determined in the group interview process.
Mark your calendars! We're hosting three family events at Clearwater this summer:
- Thursday, June 5, 6:30 - 8 p.m.: OPEN HOUSE! New campers and their families are welcome to visit and ask any questions they may have before camp begins. Returnees who just need a taste of camp fun to hold them over before the summer gets going are welcome, too!
- Thursdays, June 26 & July 24, 6:30 - 8 p.m.: FAMILY FUN NIGHTS! Regardless of which sessions you're attending, bring the whole family to camp for a potluck dinner and fun camp activities.
