Tier 3 CITs (i.e. Staff Assistants) should NOT enroll as campers because they have aged out of our camp programs. The Staff Assistant Program is a bridge year between being a camper and being eligible to apply to be a full time counselor as a rising 12th grader. Staff Assistants are considered volunteers and should be rising 11th graders (some exceptions are made, based on need, but will require two summers in the Staff Assistant program). Staff Assistants have responsibilities and receive on-the-job training. They can choose to be compensated with a stipend and/or SSL volunteer hours, if their school will accept SSL from a company that is not a 501(c)(3).
