Counselor

Overview: One of the most essential jobs in camp ministry is the Counselor Staff. At Eagle Sky, we offer two specific opportunities to serve as a counselor, twice in July, for our program camps. Counselors accompany the campers 24/7 for the entire duration of a camper’s 1-week session. No one has more of an impact on a camper’s experience than their counselor. 
Qualifications: Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that demonstrates the Lordship of Christ and models servant spiritual leadership to the guests. Must possess a ministry-minded mentality when interacting with all of the campers of Eagle Sky and be willing to go beyond job descriptions to meet the needs of campers. Dependable with a strong work ethic and able and willing to follow an exhausting weekly schedule yet flexible when needed. Experience working with children and teens in volunteer or work scenarios. Be able to effectively share the gospel with a child/teen by the end of orientation. 
Responsibilities: Have personal quiet time each day with the Lord. Be with your campers at all times except when you have time off or are asked to be in charge of another camp activity. While serving as a counselor, focus your time and attention on your campers, eat meals with them, and be available during their free time to encourage them in their activities. Participate in chapel services and camp activities with energy and excitement for your campers. Lead small group and cabin discussion as needed.
Session Dates: Session 1 – One week in July Session 2 – One week in July
