TEAC CIT/Volunteer Summer Camp Program
DEADLINE FOR SUMMER APPLICATIONS: MAY 15, 2026
The Easton Arts Center follows all Easton Park and Recreation Department and Town of Easton guidelines for youth programs. We offer several age-appropriate opportunities for students to participate in a safe, supervised, and educational environment.
Program Overview
Hybrid Volunteer (Age 11 - During Scheduled Camp Week)
This program is designed for students who have outgrown our traditional camp programs but wish to remain involved in a creative and supportive setting. Participants can work on their own art projects while assisting staff in a light, educational role. Responsibilities are flexible and always under direct supervision. Hybrid Volunteers are not responsible for camper supervision, and this is a non-paid, volunteer role focused on skill-building and engagement. Hybrid Volunteers pay a reduced registration fee of 50% off the regular camp fee to participate in this educational program.
Volunteer (Ages 12–13)
Volunteers gain exposure to a structured camp environment, assisting instructors with age-appropriate tasks such as supporting activities and helping younger campers under staff supervision. Responsibilities are moderate, guided, and educational. Volunteers are not responsible for camper supervision, and this remains a non-paid, volunteer role designed to build confidence and leadership skills.
Counselor-in-Training (CIT) (Ages 14–15)
The CIT program is an advanced leadership opportunity for teens ready to take on greater responsibility. CITs support instructors and counselors, assist with planning and leading activities, and help maintain a positive camp environment. This is a stipend-based program administered in accordance with town policies. CITs are expected to demonstrate commitment, teamwork, and communication skills.
