Senior Counselor Description (ages 18+):
Note: In 2021, all adult counselors are Senior Counselors, with no distinction between Resident Camp Counselors, Adventure Counselors, and Day Camp Counselors.
In teams of two or three, 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. Some activities are led by counselors and some are led by coordinators. 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 rotate into assignments with on-site Day Camps and Adventure Camps, and 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).
