A fully vaccinated staff will make programmatic decisions like staff housing and staff training significantly easier.

Senior Counselor Description (ages 18+):
In teams of two to four, counselors are "in loco parentis" (in place of parents) for their Unit of 8-10 campers. Counselors are expected to be fully engaged with campers, keep their campers safe, act as role models, and guide campers through the schedule/activities they have planned together. During staff training, all counselors will learn the activity skills they will need. Activities that are offered on-site at Camp Bethel include swimming, hiking, biking, crafts, creek-play, cook-outs, singing, challenge course, high-ropes course, low-ropes course, archery, nature study, group games, skits, Bible study, worship, campfires, and campouts, with many more activities offered off-site. Counselors stay in a cabin with their campers at night. When assigned to an Adventure Unit, Counselors stay with their campers at night in their Adventure Village platform hut. Most units are co-ed. All sleeping facilities are separated by gender: female counselors stay in cabins/huts with female campers, and male counselors stay in cabins/huts with male campers. Each morning, units reunite at Morning Watch. Senior Counselors will work with all ages: Mini-Camp & Day Camp (ages 5-7), Elementary Camp (ages 8-11), Middle School (ages 12-14), and High School (ages 15-17).
No matter how circumstances may change prior to our 2022 summer, we must continue to mitigate the risk of virus transmission from person to person. For this reason, we will continue to implement health-and-safety protocols in 2022. If you can not or will not take these protocols seriously, do not apply.
