I REALLY DONT WANT TO BE A CIT (counselor in training) AT A SLEEP AWAY CAMP THIS SUMMER! I am already signed up (i dont know what i was thinking when i agreed to it) but it's a lotttt of swimming and i'm really not a good swimmer (like i can swim, but i cant hold my breath for a long time, i hateeee being cold, and i can only do like 2 strokes) but i'm not sure if the is program refundable, and it costs like 4 thousand dollars. I can't really just come out and say to my parents that i dont want to do it...and i wouldnt really care so much if i didnt have to do so much swimming b/c its only like a 3 week thing, and we go to Canada first...
This past summer I worked a 36 hour train ride away from home, at a fishing resort. I started having serious doubts (especially when I first started) because the work was hard, long hours, etc.
Because I was so far away, I kept with it, and I ended up having the best summer of my life!

Just call them and ask what their refund policy is. I'd say if you can't get any money back, just work on your swimming before you go and try to survive because you may not really enjoy it, but being a CIT would be a good challenge and learning experience. if you can get some money back, talk to your parents and see what they think, but don't say "i don't want to do this" just tell them your concerns about swimming and see what they think about not doing it. if you can get all your money back, then don't go. hope that was kinda helpful, i'm sure you can find out the money thing pretty easily [ peebles7's advice column | Ask peebles7 A Question ]
