Counselor/CIT FAQs
What is Camp Mattakeesett looking for in Cit/Counselor applicants?
We are looking for young women who are committed to the Camp mission, not just 5 days of the year while at camp, but year-round. We are looking for counselors/CITS who are committed to and living their Catholic faith, striving to grow in holiness and virtue, with demonstrated leadership abilities, who are fun and have vibrant friendships.
How do you evaluate applicants?
Usually, the application process includes an online application, a review of references, participation in the counselor/CIT evaluation events, and mentor’s comments/evaluations. For summer 2022 because of the delay in launching camp, evaluations were based on the online application and review of references.
What can I do to improve my chances of being accepted as a CIT/Counselor?
As stated above, we are looking for candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to living their Catholic faith. To that end, it will assist in your application if you have ongoing formation through one of the centers of Opus Dei. In addition to growing in Catholic formation, it is also an opportunity for staff to get to know the applicants over the course of the year and for you to demonstrate your leadership skills.
