Climbing to New Heights

C-I-L-T-S, YOU KNOW THE CILTS ARE BEST!  That was definitely the case today, as I got to travel with these "Campers in Leadership Training" to a local rock climbing center where we put our strength to the test!  It was amazing to see them transform from regular teens to super-human climbers in a matter of minutes.  Some were even able to climb the shorter walls without a rope - so impressive!

We were joined by the CILTs from Camp Outer Limits - it was wonderful!

The CILTs are rising freshmen and sophomores in high school, and a majority of them aim to become counselors once they're old enough.  Several of the current staff at Camp Rising Sun - including myself -went through this program, as it is meant to prepare the teens for a job as a counselor.  When they are not going on crazy awesome field trips or bonding with the CILT Directors, Michael and Dee, the CILTs spend time shadowing the counselors and learning the ropes, while also having tons of fun!  To see our CILT blog, check out http://www.camprisingsuncilt.blogspot.com/!

Here's my view from the top of the rock wall!  Such a fun group!
