Requirements / Application Process
Our Regular Program is for new and returning campers 7 – 15 years old. If your child attended Walton's Grizzly Lodge last summer, turns 16 by July 15th and will have completed the 10th grade, they may be invited to apply for our CILT Program (Camper in Leadership Training). An email with information about how to apply is sent in August and placements are made in September.
The CILT Program is a two-year program. First Year CILTs must turn 16 years old by July 15th and have completed the 10th grade. Second Year CILTs must have completed the first-year CILT Program. CILTs receive a 10% tuition discount. Special privileges are given to CILTs including first choice of activities, time at the Staff House and a special CILT Day Out.
Personal Appearance Policy: As role models for children we expect those in our CILT program to present a clean, neat and well-groomed appearance. Clothing and visible tattoos must be appropriate for a children's summer camp. We reserve the right to determine standards and may add specific expectations as needed. If you have questions about these expectations, please call us to discuss.
This is a Select Program and availability is very limited. There are a maximum of 10 CILTs per session (5 male / 5 female).
There is no guarantee of placement in this program. Campers must receive a letter of invitation before applying.
