Is your child attending GWSD Summer Experience? Or, do you only need half day care? During the weeks of Summer Experience, Junior Mountaineers will have a weekly option from 12-5:30pm Mondays-Thursday + a full day on Fridays. This option is only available for the weeks of June 9, 16, 23 and July 7, 14, 21.

A daily drop in option will be available two weeks prior to the start of a camp if there are spots available for the week.

Provides an opportunity for youth ages 13-17 who are too old to be campers and too young to be Camp Instructors to develop leadership and teaching skills in a fun, inclusive environment, while being a positive role model for the Junior Mountaineer campers. CITs will be involved with the K-1st grade classroom and will observe and work alongside JMC Instructors to help lead activities, assist campers with projects, read books, and more! CITs will gain valuable leadership experience, learn teaching and classroom management skills, assist with risk management, and participate in the weekly field trips, swimming, rock climbing, and other specialty activities. CITs are not camp employees, but participants who will be learning skills throughout the session, taking on more responsibility, and contributing in meaningful ways.
