The Program Aid position is a privilege we offer to the campers who have displayed great responsibility in the CIT and LIT programs they have participated in.  You do not have to be an alumni of our CIT and LIT program but it does help.

After you apply for the position of Program Aid we may send you an invitation for either the first half of the summer or the second half of the summer.  How many invitations we send out will depend on the number of spaces we have available and not everyone will be able to participate just because they apply.

If you are interested in being a Program Aid? Apply here!
