What Does It Take?
Our Junior Camp and Young Teen Camp counseling staff is made up primarily of wonderful volunteers who are willing to take a week or more out of their summer and come share the gospel with our campers here at Sky Lodge. We are incredibly grateful for these people and have watched their efforts make a gigantic impact on kids' lives summer after summer.
​
No matter your age, your background, your experience, or your personality; anyone can be a great counselor. We need our counselors to work as a team, laugh and have fun, and most importantly share the love of Jesus with our campers. Ultimately it just takes a desire to spend time with the kids and do a good job. We provide 2 training sessions (the day before Junior Camp and the day before Young Teen Camp) to lay out our expectations, give some practical tips for working with our campers, and run through some logistics for that week of camp.
We do offer a couple paid staff positions to counselors who able to make a whole summer long commitment as a counselor for our specialty camps. We call these our Specialty Session Counselors. We rely on them to fill one of the most important roles at Sky Lodge, supervision of and quality time with our campers in effort to lead them closer to Christ. They'll receive extra training so that they're capable of facilitating various activities for campers all around camp, along with extra support so that they're able to persistently go after hearts and minds with the gospel. Let us know if you're interested!
