Campus House Counselor

During That Thing the Campus House is a melting pot of students from across the region.

• Leaders from those students' home churches are invited to be a part of the counseling team.
• As well, we are looking for other additional wonderful and qualified people who love Jesus, love camp and want to spend a week investing in the lives of some amazing high school students.

As a counselor, you will have one of the best weeks of your summer leading your campers through exciting activities, worshiping alongside them and sharing God’s love with them. Simply put, you spend a week “loving on kids.” In an awesome way, you may also have the most difficult week of your summer as God makes you uncomfortable in your spiritual journey stretching you to learn and grow. It's absolutely unreal how exciting and eye-opening the experience is.
