Full STEAM Ahead!

Brownell Talbot summer camps offer something for every child from preschool to twelfth grade. Campers will make lifelong friends while tackling daily challenges, hands-on activities, lessons, and art and theatre projects. The friendships they make and their close bonds with their counselors encourage every camper to try new things with confidence in a supportive environment. With programs focused on STEM, fine arts, leadership, sports, and future readiness, we have something for everyone. When summer ends, campers leave with sweet memories and new experiences that last a lifetime!

Counselor-in-Training Program

Brownell Talbot's Counselor-in-Training program (CIT) is designed for rising ninth and tenth graders. This program is a leadership development program targeted for those interested in gaining experience while making a positive impact on children. By acting as role models for young campers and assisting in leading aspects of the camp program, it is BT’s goal that our CITs walk away having learned new leadership skills and having formed lasting memories with our campers.

Training Program
Mandatory pre-camp training takes place the week of June 14-18. CITs will learn basic leadership skills, first aid and CPR training, camper age characteristics, conflict resolution, communication and collaboration, how to mentor young children, and much more.

Over the remaining four weeks of camp, our CITs will improve their creativity and leadership skills, working with camp counselors and working together to plan the 2021 CIT all camp-event. During the majority of each day, CITs will work hands-on with campers. Each afternoon the CITS will participate in a mix of recreational activities, leadership development programs and job training. The program includes two recreational day trip activities over the course of the summer.

While we would love to have our CITs for the entire summer, we understand that we need to be flexible. We ask that candidates make a commitment to attend two of the four remaining weeks of camp. You have the option to choose your weeks.

To register for our CIT program, use the “Register Now” button at the top of the page. After you have enrolled in the CIT program, you will receive an email directing you to the CIT application within Brownell Talbot’s Summer Camp account. When choosing CIT candidates, past performance, the application, and teacher/counselor references will be taken into consideration. Please note, the program registration fee includes the administration costs associated with the program including training, camp shirts, field trip fees, and any bus transportation. The fee will not be prorated for days unattended.
