SUMMER SESSIONS

For Youth Ages 8 – 17

Due to COVID-19:

COA and Camp Helen Brachman will follow guidelines by Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) regarding number of participants allowed to attend program, group size, and staff to participant ratio.

Campers may only attend one session without prior authorization by Director.

Please note: because circumstances are fluid, procedures and programming at Camp Helen Brachman will be updated as needed.

Counselors-in-Training (CIT) Program

CITs may attend multiple sessions. To apply, simply complete the camper registration form selecting the CIT program and then the CIT Information Questionnaire. Submit both to the CHB Registrar and a member of the camp team will contact you for an interview. Only a select few will be accepted into this incredible program at Camp Helen Brachman.

The CIT program is designed for campers who love camp and are either 16 or 17 during the summer. This program allows youth to develop a variety of skills. CITs will spend hands on time assisting in:
Program areas ~ may include waterfront, field sports, nature, art, archery & drama.
Support areas ~ may include kitchen, office, housekeeping and maintenance.

If a camper excels in the CIT program they may be invited to return for additional program sessions throughout the summer (family camps or day camp overnight) and for Winter Camp in December. Spaces are limited so make sure to register early and reserve your space.

Tentative 2021 Dates:
CIT Session 1: June 19 – June 28
CIT Session 2: July 3 – July 12
CIT Session 3: July 17- July 26
CIT Session 4: July 31 – August 5

Sessions fill up fast; register early to be sure you get the dates you want!
