Luther Crest Bible Camp exists to minister to the needs of the campers. The staff is hired and trained for the purpose of serving the needs of the campers. All staff members are hired to serve, to minister, to inspire, and to help campers grow in their faith.
Not sure if you would be a good counselor?
"A camp counselor does not need to be a beatific saint, memorize half the Bible, or be a religious professional, such as a clergy member or a seminarian. In the sense that life with God is a journey, the camp counselor should be committed to that pilgrimage and should be able to illuminate at least the part of the road, blessing the campers on their way."
