for CIT internship, we had co-counselors, essentially.
they worked hard to try to find us all a good fit, and overall, i think our directors did a good job.
i was actually set to have one person for my 'counselor buddy'[what our co's were called]...but she had to be pulled to be a unit leader in the absence of one of the other ULs...i ended up being 'thrown' onto another counselor the first day of the session, but it went over ok. she accepted the challenge wholeheartedly, as well as the rest of the unit staff.
i'm told that the campers we had in our unit were the best i would ever have...but i've not got my hopes down for this summer!
