As our most experienced campers, rising 10th graders now have two exciting options each session:

Option 1:
Register as a camper for their preferred tech option and enjoy camp just as they always have—for as many sessions as they choose.

Option 2:
Register as a camper for our brand-new Camp Support Internship (CSI). CS Interns attend camp full-time and take part in a hands-on internship experience that extends their learning beyond the classroom and gym. Interns get a behind-the-scenes look at camp operations while contributing to the culture, community, and daily flow of camp. 10th grade campers can apply for the CSI program for up to two sessions but can still participate in all four sessions at TIC.

CSIs will:

• Experience daily, hands-on trainings and workshops throughout the session

• Develop practical skills by participating in the planning and implementation of all camp activities and daily transition games

• Shadow experienced or “lead” counselors to gain insight into group management, camper engagement, and daily camp flow

• Engage in supervised special projects that build leadership and organizational skills (e.g., planning camp events, exploring social media tools, learning camp curriculum, etc.)

• Gain real-world work experience as an intern in a structured, supervised environment

• Reflect on their own leadership growth as they bridge the gap between camper and staff

• Learn how and what it takes to be a youth mentor by working alongside the Leadership Training Director to assist in the CIT and LIT workshop.

Additional Information:

• For those who haven’t participated in the Level 2 CIT training, the topics and information will be covered during the internship.

• Limited Spots: The CSI program has a limited number of available positions each session.

• Multi-Session Participation: Campers attending more than one session may participate in the CSI program for up to two sessions. For any additional sessions, they will select a tech option and join the regular camp program.

CSI Application Required Submissions:

1. Camper Registration

2. CSI Google Form Application  (sent separately)

3. Code of Conduct signed by camper and caregivers (sent separately)

4. One Letter of Recommendation

Once all required materials are received, TIC will review each applicant’s package. Placements are based on enrollment numbers, availability, preferences, and skills. Confirmation emails will be sent once decisions are finalized.

If a Session is Full: If the CSI program is not available for a particular session, campers may join the waitlist and still attend the regular camp program.
