Missionaries play a vital role meeting our Campers' physical, emotional, and spiritual needs for a week. Every summer, thousands of Missionaries from all over the United States join us to serve.
Missionary Roles
Counselors
Age: 15-29
Counselors make up the largest percentage of our Missionaries throughout the summer and are our greatest need each year. These incredible individuals experience the week side-by-side with their Camper. Counselors put aside their desires for the needs of Campers—like how Jesus laid down his life for the sake of others. They unconditionally love, accept, and care for their Campers’ needs during the week. It is a challenging role but an incredibly rewarding and spiritually revealing experience.
Counselors can receive 75 service hours per week at Camp.
Counselor Duties:
- Be a friend to their Camper.
- Assist with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) when needed.
- Come alongside Campers during devotions.
- Help Campers participate in activities with their cabin.
