In addition to taking part in the Teen Swim Program, CILTs also participate in swim leadership. They get to assist the swim counselors in teaching the Kindergarten and Little Raccoon groups. CILTs are paired up with the younger groups to help campers learn water readiness and basic swim skills. Second year CILTs camper may have the opportunity to assist swim staff with swim lessons for different age groups after they have demonstrated proficiency. This additional leadership training prepares CILTs for becoming Junior Counselors and program counselors in the future.

Teen Swim Program

Teen campers participate in aquatic clinics geared for basic to advanced swimmers. Junior High groups and CILTs (7^th –10^th graders) participate in aquatic clinics geared for novice – advanced swimmers. This allows campers to specialize in the activity of their choice and have the opportunity to learn new skills and try more challenging activities.
