Valley Mill in Maryland uses CITs as well.

The CITs get "paid" but the parent still pays camp tuition (around 300-400 per week, like most CIT programs I'm familiar with)

Create Arts Center is Silver Spring had CITs who pay a lower rate. Many go on to be high school volunteers for summer camp. I think you can get some service hours for CITs too.

The Smithsonian Summer Camp takes kids, and can give them credits for school -- also a great resume builder.

Did your daughter do Girl Scouts? That's also one to check.

I got the impression that their apprentices are mostly or maybe all former Levine campers.

Camp Sonshine in Silver Spring is another option:

Thank you!

YMCAs have them. A few other camps I had checked online listed age ranges for their various camps, with travel options available for teens, as well as CIP opportunities. It appears you pay a reduced "camper" rate, and in some cases the CIT earns SSL hours, if that it something you are looking for.

For future reference, Casa Sheridan takes CIT's at 14 years.

Levine Music Camp -- they take teen apprentices starting at age 12.

YMCA uses CITs. You have to pay for their leadership class which is open to ages 13-15. Same with Montgomery County Rec Dept.

Most what?

My daughter will be 13 as of the beginning of next summer and has expressed interest in being a camp counselor. Most I've seen have been way out in VA. Does such a thing exist in DC? Or close in MD? Paid or unpaid.
