Adult Volunteer 2018 Application COMING SOON. Prerequisite: You MUST read through the 2017 Summer Staff Information packet, (position description, staff policies, program philosophy, etc). Camp Bethel has a rich tradition of adult volunteers “coming home” for a week during the summer. Volunteerism is what has made Camp Bethel great over our 89 year history. Persons 18 and above can give of their time and talents for one or more weeks to serve in various roles in the camping program. Adult Volunteers may serve as Counselors in a Camper Unit, but we also need volunteer helpers on a weekly basis as Trip/Shuttle/Day-Camp Drivers, Medical Helpers, Crafts Directors, Camp Grandparents, Chaplains, Maintenance Volunteers, Nature Directors, Registration Assistants, and Dining Hall Assistants. Each adult volunteer counselor is asked to attend a 5:30pm-9:00pm training and free dinner on June 1. E-mail Jenna Stacy to sign up for a volunteer week at campbetheloffice@gmail.com and complete the Adult Volunteer Application, coming soon.
We are very proud of our excellent summer staff of counselors and support staff and their commitment to quality programming at Camp Bethel! Each staff member is interviewed, screened, and selected by the Camp Director, and we perform a comprehensive background check for each. Staff are hired on the basis of their work ethic, their Christian character, their ability share their faith and teach all our camp skills, their love of activity and the outdoors, and their commitment to helping children and youth.
We train the staff during an intense, comprehensive, fun, two-week Staff Training prior to the first camper week. Staff Training includes detailed and complete preparations in safety, first aid, emergency procedures, prevention, and all the methods and procedures of our educational goals and camp activities. All paid staff are certified in CPR and First Aid. Campers are sure to have a safe and fun week living and learning with their counselors.
Are YOU interested in an active, enriching, authentic summer in relational, outdoor ministry to children and youth? Camp Bethel is seeking the BEST SUMMER CAMP COUNSELORS: caring, tolerant, college-age, service-minded, growing Christians wishing to serve God by leading and mentoring children in outdoor Christian education programming.
