Camp Counselor Volunteer
REACH Ministries is seeking caring and energetic volunteers to serve as Camp Counselors during our REACH Labor Day Getaway.
Camp Counselors help create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for children attending the Getaway. Counselors are paired in teams of two and are assigned a small group of approximately 3–4 children for the weekend.
Counselors guide children through the daily schedule, activities, meals, and transitions while helping build friendships, confidence, and connection throughout the weekend.
