Quin-Mo-Lac’s Leadership Program

The Counsellor in Training program is a 2-week leadership program for youth, ages 15-16 years as of December 31, 2025, who are:

  • ·         Genuinely interested in children and camping

  • ·         Energetic, positive, and caring

  • ·         Motivated to learn and develop solid counselling and leadership skills

    The first week of the program is devoted to sessions involving parenting skills, communication, camp operations and programming, and discussion of faith.  The second week is the practical application of counselling children.  A major part of the CIT program is Bronze Medallion swim training. The intense structure of the water program plays a part in the character building of a well-rounded CIT.

    Specifically, Quin-Mo-Lac’s CIT program provides participants with:

    ·         Two weeks of accommodation and food

    ·         Valuable leadership training and hands-on, counselling experience

    ·         Instruction and certification in: Emergency First Aid with CPR-B and Bronze Medallion (value $275 for both)

    ·         CIT graduation ceremony and certificate of accomplishment

    ·         Invitation to the following summer’s staff/volunteer training week (for successful CIT graduates)

    ·         CITs who already have their Bronze Medallion will have a chance to earn their Bronze Cross swimming certification

Application Process:

Visit our online registration portal and select Summer 2025. Complete the Counsellor-In-Training application with your child. Candidates will be asked to provide a minium of two session dates they would be available to attend. Submit your application but do not send payment until after your child has been accepted to the program.

All CIT candidates will be invited to attend our mandatory interview day at Quin-Mo-Lac on Saturday May 24, 2025 from 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM. Planned activities will help the Leadership Directors select candidates who most exhibit the skills, knowledge, attitude and leadership potential relevant to the QML philosophy. Come dressed for outdoor activities. Lunch will be provided.

Successful candidates will be notified by mail as to whether or not they have been accepted to the program and they will be assigned to one of 4 CIT sessions during the summer. At that time, the registration fee will be applied to the account and parents will make payment arrangements.
