PAIT (Program Aide in Training)

All campers entering grade 7 or above in the fall of this year will be placed in the Program Aide in Training unit. It is required that all campers entering this unit have had the “Outdoor Skills training” or completed “Outdoor Skills Unit.” If your camper has not had Outdoor Skills training they should enroll in that session.

Being a Program Aide (PA) is an amazing experience, but with it comes responsibility. The PAIT unit is geared to preparing campers for being PAs in future years. The training is intense and friendships made between fellow PAITs are strong and lasting.

The training teaches the campers about leadership and how to work with younger campers. They complete the "Girl Scout Program Aide Outdoor Specialty Training".  Two days during the week of camp, the PAITs are placed in units. The first time is to shadow the PAs in that unit and observe what the role of a PA is like. The second time they will have the opportunity to act as the lead PA in that unit.
