What is flex group?
Flex group is the fourth rotation. At the beginning of the summer, all CITs take CPR for the Professional Rescuer. If possible, during the summer, all CITs take Wilderness First Aid. During the summer, because life guarding skills require time to master, the unit is divided into four groups who take life guarding in 9 to 10 day classes—flex group. Classes meet in the morning and afternoon, and the kids are given the evening off to rest, study, or practice. Sometimes, CITs are asked to do special projects around camp or to scout new trips. Flex group takes care of these as well. The Flex group is also raises and lowers the flags each morning, cleans the wiggy each day, and sorts the laundry each week.
