The TJT Program (Teen-in-Job-Training) is a dynamic leadership and job-in-nature-training program for youth from 15-17 years old.

The program begins with one week of training where the TJT’s build community, learn about leadership, develop trust in themselves and one another, and discover the tools for overcoming obstacles and becoming responsible contributing members of their team. Teens will be assigned a supervisor and all teens will work with a team mentor each afternoon.
Week ONE: Become part of the Oakland Feather River Camp Staff. Learn the songs and traditions, get your job assignment, report to a recreation staff leader and learn to lead programs. Each afternoon attend a class with fellow TJT’s to learn how to be a a camp counselor. Learn valuable skills, develop a strong work ethic, contribute to the team/community, and have a great time while learning!
Week TWO: Become a CIT (Counselor-In-Training) for Camp Kidd & Camp Sierra. Move to the Youth Camp where you will enjoy being a camp leader for the kids (aged 7 – 11) and help care for them and show them a good time!
