A Message to Prospective Counselors
OUR MISSION:
The Camp ADVENTURE mission is to teach and inspire campers
to have a healthy and fit life that includes outdoor activities.
As a counselor you will:
• Teach campers how to build strong, positive relationships with others.
• Teach campers a variety of activities and safety while helping them to develop important life skills and
positive knowledge of self.
• Teach campers the value of unselfishness and the necessity of developing a good character.
OUR POLICIES:
Everything a counselor says or does, on or off camp grounds, reflects back onto Camp
Please attach
ADVENTURE and the Coffey Grounds. We simply ask that counselors conduct themselves
recent picture or
in a way that reflects their faith and represents Camp ADVENTURE and the Coffey
Grounds in a positive way. The use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco is prohibited while
copy of picture
under contract. Because the influence of a counselor is so tremendous, as part of our
hiring process we look at every applicant’s social networking sites. When we are looking at your site, we are looking
from the perspective of a camper and a parent and we expect to see you reflected in a positive light. Please review
your site to make sure there is nothing alluding to drinking, drugs, sex, profanity, racial slurs, etc. This includes and
is not limited to photos, videos, bumper stickers, groups, wall posts, etc. In addition, photos/videos of you and/or
other people engaging in anything listed above or ANY illegal activity must NOT be on your site. At Camp
ADVENTURE, each counselor is given weekends off. Although we do have some evening and weekend overnight
activities that counselors can participate in, for extra income.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW:
As administrators of Camp ADVENTURE, please let us share some of our thoughts on camp counseling with you. We
would ask that you give this job application serious thought before returning it to us. Camp counseling is a full-time
job that is fun to those who love children and will place their interests ahead of self in every instance. Some college
students enter summer camp work with the idea that it will be a vacation. While camp is fun, applicants should
consider this job as a chance to serve youth as well as an opportunity for personal development. Parents send their
children to camp because they know the positive influence a good camp experience can have on their child. They
entrust their child to Camp ADVENTURE at the Coffey Grounds because they know we seek passionate young people
to care for their children. Youth are so impressionable. A Camp ADVENTURE camper is under the influence of the
camp and its staff 9-10 hours a day or more, amidst surroundings and under conditions which make them particularly
susceptible to character influences. The camp environment and all its staff members must be positive, inclusive,
nurturing, and wholesome. We seek those who want to fill this role and make a difference in a child’s life. When you
join the Camp ADVENTURE family as a staff member, you will be among those who share the same goal of ministering
to young people. Come with a willing spirit and be prepared to have a rewarding and fun summer full of growth for
your campers and for you!
