Those who registered will then be sent an official CIT Application later in March to fill out and submit.

Upon review of each application, selected applicants will be granted an interview and will be notified in April.

A mandatory camp staff meeting/training will be held at the Joseph Trapasso Community House in June. The date and time will be determined once the CIT selection process is complete.
