-Last but certainly not least, our Counselor In Training Program takes place at Camp K all 10 weeks of summer and is for youth ages 12-14 years! Ready for fun and a bit more responsibility? Interested in learning how to be a camp counselor? Our YMCA’s C.I.T. program is the first step in an individual’s transition from a camper to a potential staff member. C.I.T.’s develop strong leadership skills through training, discussion, observation and practice. The skills they develop are directly applied in leadership opportunities throughout camp in supervised programs.

This summer, to better serve our YMCA Camp families, all camp registration will take place thru our Camp Registrar, Maddie Rideout. Maddie can be contacted directly at 207-633-2855, mrideout@brymca.org and campregistrar@brymca.org. You may register online, in person, or thru the mail.
