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.)
