Mentors In Training Program

Mentors in Training (MITs) are integral to the Cedar Circle summer day camp experience. These volunteers ages 13+ work closely with our summer education team to engage with campers throughout the day and assist with activities, group management, and more! The primary responsibility of an MIT is to be an exemplary role model. While the MITs are guaranteed to have fun, they must realize their role is different from being a camper.

With guidance from Mentor Educators, MITs practice and gain skills in:

Group management
Leading small activities (small in size, and time!)
Working with others and taking direction
Project planning, management, and task completion

Qualifications:

Excited, responsible, and mature young adult (13+ years of age)
Enjoy working with elementary-aged children
Eager to grow as a leader and mentor
Comfortable working outdoors in a farm environment
Able to attend the mandatory training session

Our MIT program runs for all 8 weeks of Summer Camp. MITs should be able to commit to serving all 5 days of any 2 camp weeks (or more), from 9:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

Wk1: June 24–28

Wk2: July 1–5

Wk3: July 8–12

Wk4: July 15–19

Wk5: July 22–26

Wk6: July 29–August 2

Wk7: August 5–9

Wk8: August 12–16

There is a mandatory MIT training session on Thursday, June 20th, from 1:00-3:00 p.m., which will orient the Mentors in Training to the space, introduce them to the camp staff, and highlight the importance of their roles and expectations during their camp weeks.
