Friendship Island Teen CIT Program

Los Angeles · $1,150/week

A Counselor-in-Training program for teens to develop leadership and social skills.

▌ Editor's read The Compass Clinic LA website loads as a legitimate site for a social skills camp called Friendship Island. The camp is directed by Dr. Elizabeth Lau, a licensed clinical psychologist, and focuses on teaching social skills, emotional regulation, and friendship development to children and teens. The program is a day camp, with sessions running from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. While the website details the therapeutic approach and curriculum, it does not provide information on staff-to-camper ratios or explicitly state that staff undergo background checks. The camp is not listed in the ACA directory. Google reviews for Compass Clinic LA show a 5.0-star rating based on 22 reviews, with parents frequently praising the positive impact on their children's social development and the expertise of the staff. Social media handles found are @compassclinicla on Instagram and CompassClinicLA on Facebook.

Who thrives here Ages 12–15

Friendship Island Teen CIT Program fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given sports program.
