Our JCIT Program

Our JCIT program is designed for former campers who are too old to be campers, not quite ready for the responsibilities of a paid staffer, ready and willing to assist when asked but just as ready to participate and be part of the fun when given that opportunity.

JCITs are given specific responsibilities and therefore expected to participate as scheduled for one entire session. JCITs must therefore be prepared to turn down any conflicting camp, sports team or vacation opportunities that may arise during the camp session they spend with us.

Due to the popularity of this program, JCITs may participate in only one session. (Applicants will specify their preference on their application)

This year's JCIT program will be great... as always! 
We have two Directors dedicated solely to the JCIT program to make sure the JCITs get the most out of their summer at Decathlon.

We are looking forward to another great summer (our 44th!) and we hope you will be part of it.
