    We are looking for people who are willing to work hard and want to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of kids this summer. We want people who are fun, flexible, and responsible. We need people who are open, honest, and willing to share their faith with others.

    We aren't going to lie, being a camp counselor is incredibly hard work. You are responsible for the care of each of the kids entrusted to you, and that means making sure they eat and shower and brush their teeth and wear socks with their shoes. It means sitting up with them at night when they're scared of the dark. It also means teaching them how to paddle a kayak, knocking them over in bubble soccer, catching them when they fall off the trust fall, and answering their questions about Jesus in Bible study.

    It means making slumgullion over the fire (you're going to love it), dancing to grooveship worship, and singing by candlelight beneath the stars. It means picking up a kid when they fall in the dirt, giving them a high five when they finally hit the bull's eye in archery, and letting them cover you in mud in the creek. Being a camp counselor is exhausting and messy and difficult and wonderful and the most rewarding thing you could possibly do with your summer. We can teach you how to lead all of the activities at camp. You just have to come ready and willing to do the work and make this a great summer.
