Role Model In Traiining (RMIT )CAMP DETAILS

YMCA OF GREATER MONMOUTH COUNTY is proud to offer the Role Model In Training Program for campers who are interested in becoming a summer camp counselor. The RMIT program has been developed for teen campers who demonstrate strong leadership abilities and have a desire to work with children.  This program assists teens in learning and developing the necessary skills to work with children as a camp counselor or, as we call them, Role Models.

RMITs must be flexible, talented, energetic, and caring candidates who want to make a difference in the lives of the children. Simultaneously, RMITs acquire life skills and on-the-job leadership training relevant to the mission and values of the Y. During a weekly session, RMITs may earn their certification in First Aid & CPR, learn and participate in team building activities, develop and practice group management techniques, learn problem solving & de-escalation tactics, discuss current events, build cover letters & resumes, and partake in program & activity creation and delivery. RMITs will be paired with camp Role Models, Specialists, and Directors in order to gain experience working with campers in different settings. Successful completion of the Role Model In Training Program will allow candidates to apply as a camp Role Model when they are of employment age.

To apply for the Role Model In Training Program, please reach out to our Camp Coordinator to RSVP to Training & Orientation.
