As a counselor, you are responsible and held accountable
to the rest of the staff as well as the leadership and full-time
staff. To give you an idea of what working as a counselor
entails, we have broken down counselor responsibilities into
three categories:
|
| |
1. Campers
CBS Counselors will…
- Live in a cabin (did we mention air-conditioned?)
with 8 campers and one co-counselor
- Take primary responsibility for the health, well-being,
and happiness of their campers during each term
- Model Christ to campers through their conversations
and actions
- Lead daily devotionals (PowWows) for their cabin
- Recognize and respond to teachable moments both
in the cabin and while teaching daily activities
- Encourage respect and stewardship for personal property,
camp equipment and facilities
- Set a good example for campers in all areas including;
actions and words towards the opposite sex, cleanliness
and hygiene, punctuality and good sportsmanship

2. Camp Activities
CBS Counselors will…
- Be assigned to help instruct specific activities
throughout the day
- Participate in all programs and evening activities
of camp. (Have a blast! Your enthusiasm is contagious!)
- Supervise all assigned aspects of the campers’
day, including; morning wake-up, cabin clean-up, meal
times, rest hour, evening activities, and getting
ready for bed
3. Parents
CBS Counselors will…
- Make parent phone calls the first Tuesday of every
term, updating the parents on how their child is doing
- Write a postcard to their campers’ parents
during the three-week terms, updating them again on
how their child is doing
- Show excitement in meeting/greeting camper families
on opening and closing day. (We want them to feel
comfortable with their child’s camp experience.)
