- CIT Trivia -
Brochure boasts: "You will spend ten weeks together this summer learning more about God, Christians, Church, Day Camp, kids, being a leader and a counselor and much much more. When you aren't doing that, you will be having time for recreation, special workshops, and you will spend a week backpacking. And, you will have a chance to be with the kids twice a week, (which means you will have to go to such boring places a Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, Marineland, Universal Studios, Raging Waters, and maybe even and Amtrak ride and a B-B-Q at the infamous La Mirada Regional Park!)". Cost: $250/summer. Sold M & M's to help earn money. Spent a week backpacking and 2 weeks "counseling".
