CIT Program
Our CIT program transitions our oldest girls and boys into potential future WSD staff, with a fun learning experience of active participation in their group's summer activities. In addition to participating in the group's activities, they will have their own CIT special programs though-out the summer including off site trips. CITs are registered as “campers" and we call them “CITs”, which means that you will need to complete our Health Form and any additional forms that may be required during the summer. Those CITs who will be 15 years old by June 26, 2023 will have the option to be placed in a group for the summer or to participate in the CIT transition program.The fee for our CIT program is $200 per week, with a 4 week minimum. The CIT tuition covers the cost for trips and special programming.If busing is required, the fees are as follows:$1525 for 1-5 weeks$1700 for 6 weeks$1750 for 7-8 weeks.Link to register your child for the CIT program for summer 2023.
