<p>Well, I am thinking about my college apps, even though I still have a year till I need to start actually doing anything so just please help me get some answers. This upcoming summer I am planning on being a CIT at a YMCA sleep away camp. This would mean that I am basically a first year counselor but with no pay. I love this camp and went there as a child so that is why i’m going but I was wondering since I will be working there and not getting paid does this count as volunteering? and if it does how much? I will be there for a month so it that 672 hours?</p>
<p>It definitely counts as a valuable EC, and yeah I guess it technically can go under volunteering. Have fun!</p>
<p>that sounds like hours padding to me. just put it under a summer activities heading…</p>
