Junior Naturalist Camp: Water - CIT
Description
Join Piedmont Wildlife Center for our brand new Junior Naturalist Program! Each day, campers will learn about the natural world through hands-on investigation and scientific inquiry. This week, campers will explore the rich water resources at Historic Yates Mill County Park. We will search for macroinvertebrates, design water quality experiments, and learn from real scientists! This camp is perfect for a budding ecologist or nature lover!

As a CIT, your role is to support the counselors, bring energy and excitement to the day, and keep an eye out for the needs of the campers.

You get to help create the same incredible camp experiences that you had as a camper, and get to be a model for them to learn from. When you’re a CIT, you get to make the magic of camp happen! Your age allows campers to be more comfortable around you, and you can provide insight that may not be immediately obvious to counselors; it is important to ask for feedback and to give your insight on campers/group dynamics. Being a CIT makes you a part of a legendary group of people who understand PWC like no other person does.

CITs (Counselors in Training) are required to attend Teen Outdoor Leadership Camp.

Drop off is at 8:00am. Pick up is at 3:30pm. For an additional $80, you can add aftercare to pick up between 3:30pm - 5:30pm.
