New for 2010 is our Counselor-In-Training Program!
The Counselor-In-Training Program is to train prospective camp staff members. Scouts 14 years of age by June 1, with summer camp experience, and who are looking forward to serving on camp staff in the future, may apply for a place on the CIT Corps.
The CIT Program will challenge you to learn the skills to be a quality camp staff member. Under the direction of the Program Director, you will be trained in camp counseling, Scoutcraft skills, how to teach and present skills, troop duties, and the personal qualities required to be a successful staff member.
CIT will be involved in all program aspects, serving as staff in a different area each day, shadowed by a trained staff member.
While there is no guarantee of acceptance, participating Scouts can use this opportunity to develop and demonstrate those qualities sought after in future camp staff members. Recreational activities and personal advancement opportunities will also be available. Scouts interested should submit an application.
An application for Junior Camp Staff and the Counselor-In-Training program is included in this Leader’s Guide. Email Joe Brown or call at 010-2213-2137 / 754-3446 if you would like to help in any of the areas listed.

There will be a $65.00 Camp Liberty Cancellation Fee (include $20.00 non-refundable deposit) on 15 June or after for any camper (scout or leader) not attending. There will be a $10.00 per day part-time leader cancellation fee (unit may fill slot internally). These cancellation fees are assessed for equipment and program purchases made prior to camp that cannot be cancelled due to absences of campers. After cancellation fees are assessed, all remaining funds are refundable.
If a scout or leader becomes ill while attending camp and is sent home by the Camp Medical Director, they are eligible for a pro-rated refund (by day) of the balance fee ($20.00 deposit is non-refundable). If a camper departs without being sent home by the Camp Medical Director, there is No Refund.
All refund requests must be submitted in writing by the unit leadership before leaving camp. No refund requests will be considered if submitted after camp.
Financial Assistance is available to aid scouts and their families in need. Forms are available at the Scout Service Center. Financial aid is not designed to pay for the entire camp fee.
