The Knight CIT offering at Majestic Adventures is a unique leadership program where the teens learn skills in leadership, acting, storytelling, safety, and group dynamics. The Knight CITs get to practice these skills with each other and as a mentor to a group of younger kids and assistant to our adult counselors. By engaging in one of our exciting programs (such as Adventure Quest), Knight CITs help with activities, challenges, storytelling, plot dynamics, characters, safety, and leadership. After a Knight CIT completes training, they may sign up to attend any of our day camp programs as a Knight CIT at 50% of the cost of the program. Once they are deemed to be “Master” or “Grandmaster” they may sign up for our programs as a Knight CIT for free.

To be a Knight CIT, the teen must be at least 13 years old at time of training, have passed Knighthood Training, and be in good standing. In addition to registering for your location’s Knighthood Training Week on Campbrain, we ask that families of new Knights fill out our CIT Application with your aspiring Knight so we can get to know them better.

All aspiring Knights must fill out the CIT Training Application. Our CIT Training Leaders will review all applications as they come in and communicate with families about registration.

As Knights learn and practice all the skills that being a CIT involves, the trainers and supervisors at camp will be observing them and evaluating them using the “Knight CIT Training Evaluation” sheet (found at the end of this packet.) It evaluates 20 Skills across the categories of Safety Support, Communication and Teamwork, and Quest Leading Skills. Knights-in-Training are ranked in each skill, with the lowest rank being Quester and the highest being Grandmaster. Each Rank is associated with a certain number of points.

• Quester (-2pts): Quester level, needs immediate attention.
• Apprentice (+1pt): Beginner skill level, still requires lots of awareness, hard work, and practice!
• Skilled (+2pts): Adequately skilled in most aspects of the category. Generally helpful!
• Expert (+3pts): Excels in most aspects of this category. Meets expectations.
• Master (+4pts): Masterful in some aspects, consistently excels at all aspects. Proactively helpful.
• Grandmaster (+5pts): Quest Leader skill level in all areas of the category.

A Rank of “Quester” in a skill means that there were concerns in how the CIT attempted to demonstrate the skill. A Quester Rank is worth negative 2 points. This is because a CIT who is behaving unsafely, breaking rules, or consistently acting in a way that requires a Quest Leader’s attention has some more growth and learning to do before they are ready to CIT.

A minimum score of 20 and trainer approval* is required to pass the Knighthood Evaluation.

*While we do our best to have the Evaluation score reflect a Knight’s readiness to serve as a CIT at camp, there may sometimes be concerns that are intangible or difficult to quantify on the evaluation sheet. Anytime a Knight-in-Training does not pass the Knighthood Evaluation, our aim is to provide them clear, fair, and constructive feedback about our reasoning and things they can do to improve. They are welcome to decline feedback if that is their preference.

Any participant who does not pass the Knighthood Evaluation within the CIT training week will be designated as a Squire, which is an honorary title that recognizes them for the very real accomplishment of going through CIT training and pursuing the rank of Knighthood. A Squire may also be an aspiring CIT who was not able to attending CIT Training Week. A Squire may not register for programs as a CIT, however, Squires may continue to register for programs as a Quester, and may request to receive the Knighthood Evaluation one more time before the next year’s training if they show continued dedication to becoming a Knight through their behavior as a Quester. Squires who completed training week and did not pass the Evaluation are encouraged to attend CIT training again the following year and will be able to register at half the training program cost.

Knighthood Ranks
Those who pass the Knighthood Evaluation will be given a Knighthood Rank, determined by their Knighthood Evaluation Score:

• 0-19: Quester
• 20-39: Apprentice
• 40-59: Skilled
• 60-74: Expert
• 75-89: Master
• 90-100: Grandmaster

Participants who achieve Knighthood at any rank may sign up to attend Majestic Adventures day camp programs as a Knight CIT. Apprentice, Skilled and Expert Knights may attend camp at 50% off of the cost that normal Questers pay. Master and Grandmaster Knights attend for free.

CITs will be given our Knight CIT Packet with information about the program, including training details, expectations and tips for how to be a good CIT. We encourage any aspiring knights to read through the Packet before starting training.
