EXPANDERBLAST
Supporting 8th & 9th graders in Leadership & Personal Growth

Welcome to our Counselor-In-Training Program page! Expanderblast is a leadership and personal growth training experience that requires a 2 consecutive week minimum commitment as a Counselor in Training for our summer camps, it includes an application process (for new and returning Counselors-In-Training), a pre-summer mandatory day long training course and mid summer check ins. We are interested in helping 8th & 9th graders access their full potential and learn how to show up more fully as the beautiful, amazing beings they are! 

It's an opportunity for our youth to learn how to lead by example and show up to be in service!

Please make sure the following forms are filled out by the applicant - not by Moms & Dads - the application process is an important part of the training. 

We are accepting applications through May 20, 2025.
There is a session fee of $120 per week for participants to CIT with us. 

We are also offering a Sleep Away Camp for 7th-10th graders
