Camp Outer Limits: CILTs

Summer 2024

Our CILT (Campers in Leadership Training) programs provide teens, in rising grades 9 -10, with the opportunity to develop leadership skills, serve as role models for younger campers, and give them time to spend time with their peers in an active, fun and safe environment. Activities include team-building, outings, service projects and special events. Join our closed Facebook group to stay up to date on what's happening this week at Camp!

CILT programs are available at Camp Outer Limits (held at Mills Park Middle School and the Northwest Cary YMCA) and Camp Rising Sun (held at the Taylor Family YMCA). 

We can’t wait to see your children this summer!
