The Bullis Summer Programs Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is an experiential program for students typically between the ages of 14 - 16 designed to develop core skills of leadership, integrity, character, communication, and initiative. The CIT acquires skills through active participation in the summer programs activities, with instructors and staff serving as mentors. The CIT program is a model for promoting positive group dynamics, inspiring creativity, and fostering a nurturing and caring environment for all children.
