" Because of his time there this summer, he recently applied for Leadership Training through SAR. And he was accepted. He goes to camp this coming weekend. He used his experiences at The Movement Park as part of his responses for the application. Thank you again for such an amazing opportunity for young teens."

Counselors in Training (CITs) primarily serve as role models for camps and events. They act as buddies to our students, aiding them in building connections, understanding safety and game rules, and assisting with craft activities. They adhere to all camp guidelines and embody The Movement Park's values. These values include self-awareness, awareness of others and the environment, and a continuous pursuit of personal growth.

Eligible CITs should meet the following criteria:

  • The candidate for the CIT program must be at least 12 years old or entering the 7th grade.

  • The CIT must be an active parkour student at The Movement Park, invited by a staff member to join the program or apply through an interview process.
