Counselor In Training
About The C.I.T Program
Our Counselor In Training (CIT) Program is designed for motivated 14 and 15 year old’s interested in becoming future counselors for our Tennis and Multi-Sport Summer Camps. This 2 week half day program bridges the gap between camper and counselor by introducing participants to leadership, responsibility, and real-world camp operations.
CITs will explore the importance of the counselor role and how it serves as the critical connection between campers and staff. The program will outline counselor expectations and summer-long goals, then translate those ideas into personalized CIT goals that each participant will work toward over the 2 week session.
Building Skills Beyond Camp
CITs will take part in a structured interview process, formal camp training, and a final exit interview, mirroring the expectations of a true counselor role. Throughout the program, participants will gain hands-on experience working alongside staff in both our Tennis and Multi-Sport Camps.
Training and experience will include ropes course instruction (high ropes, low ropes, and zip-line), archery training, pool safety awareness, and fire safety procedures. CITs will also develop communication skills, teamwork, camper management strategies, and age-appropriate coaching techniques in a supportive and engaging environment.
Each participant will receive an official CIT Camp shirt to wear throughout the program.
Completion of the 2 week CIT Program is an essential first step for those interested in applying for counselor positions in future summers.

What People Are Saying About Us
My 9yr. old niece attended the Lyme Shores Racquet Club – Multi-Sport Camp. The facility is clean and well maintained, staff are welcoming and happy with a “good morning” each day.
She loved the ropes course, zip-line, tennis, outdoor sports such as soccer, flag football, pickleball and ultimate frisbee not to mention ending the day with fun in the pool. She enjoyed various inside group games from 4-square, dodge ball and ping-pong.
Per the young full-day camper “staff are friendly, encouraging and outgoing – feels like family.” Highly recommend multi-sport camp “life changing opportunity definitely attend.”

The staff/counselors are extremely caring and supportive! Very professional at all times! I highly suggested the multi-sport camp!!
My son is 10 and this summer we decided to try out a summer camp. I originally had him in for 1/2 days to try it out and on the first day he told me he wanted to be in the full day so he got his wish! He loved the camp,They did many activities both indoors & outdoors, the staff was very nice, the place is also a nice place & quiet area. We will definitely be returning.
My daughter went to the Lyme Shores Racquet Club multi-sport summer program and had a blast. The counselors made her feel welcome and facility provided more than enough activates to keep her busy. Her favorite activities were the ropes course, tennis courts, and pool. The different weekly themes also make each week feel like something special. I highly recommend Lyme Shores summer program and the facility in general
Our 11 year old loves this camp (the ropes course won him over)! It's full of activities that kids really love, the counselors are fantastic and well-equipped to handle the crazy days, and are not shy about ensuring our kids' safety. I especially appreciate that they end the day with a cool-down in the pool.
