What? Ideally, this is a multi-week long, ministry and leadership role. Counselors will be responsible for ensuring a high-quality, Christian youth camp session experience for youth ages 7-17. Their duties will include, but not be limited to, planning and youth management tasks. Working with a team under the direction of a qualified Camp Director, Counselors will work to ensure youth attending the session(s) are safe and fed biblical spiritual truth through a Christian mentor relationship.

Who? Individuals who feel God is calling them to this role. Individuals will need to be Christian leaders who are willing to serve and direct youth in a biblical manner. Counselors should have a passion for teaching the next generation about the truth and power found in God’s Word.

Why? Being a counselor can give you practical skills and experience that lasts a lifetime. A Counselor job is good experience for preparing you for future job roles and a great first step to experiencing how a ministry role may be God’s calling for you. Counselors have the opportunity to build relationships that last a lifetime, serve and mentor others as God intended, and follow Christ in sharing your faith and reaching the next generation with the good news. A meaningful job that can bless you personally with lifelong memories.
