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).

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
"Our son and daughter have been coming to Camp Bethel since they were 5 years old--they are now 13 and 14 years old. We have found that your camp is one of the few that our kids continue to enjoy even as they are older. Other camps (sometimes a lot more expensive) are nice but for some reason the magic of Camp Bethel remains. We also really respect the way that your camp incorporates God and Bible study but in such a way that it is still cool--a rarity these days to find a place where kids can be kids and learn to love God and care for one another in God's creation. Thanks so much for the awesome experience for our kids and the ongoing magic that is Camp Bethel. Thanks, Gina and Chris Engel"
