Counselors in Training: one of the largest and most comprehensive CIT programs in camping. Sixteen to twenty-one boys a summer go through lifeguard and first-aid training and rotations through the three units, and most return as full staff the next season.
Every camper belongs to a color team, Red or Gray, for all his years at Winona. The two compete all summer, and the winner of the most points decides the color of next year's banner. The outcome is not known until Awards Night.
