The Bullis Summer Programs Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is an experiential program for students who:

have finished 8th grade
are typically between the ages of 14 to 15 (must be at least 14 by 6/22/2026)
have the ability to commit to at least one two-week session (this is required)

The program is designed to develop and foster core skills of leadership, integrity, character, communication, and initiative. The CIT acquires skills through active participation in the summer programs activities, with instructors and staff serving as mentors to the program’s campers. The CIT program is a model for promoting positive group dynamics, inspiring creativity, and fostering a nurturing and caring environment for all children while developing and reflecting upon the acquired skills through this volunteer service.

Prospective CITs must first apply for the position through the Bullis Careers page before registering for the CIT program on the camp website.
Vetted CITs will have either a phone or in-person interview with the CIT Coordinator or the Director of Auxiliary Programs to determine selection for the program.
If selected for the program, the CITs will then register for the program through the camp registration website.

Bullis Summer Programs CITs who successfully complete the program receive 80 Student Service Learning (SSL) hours through Montgomery County Public Schools.
