Are you interested in serving some incredible kids alongside a fantastic staff dedicated to exuding God’s love over the course of a summer? Well, Camp of the Hills could be just the place for you!
Each summer, a dedicated team of young adults work together to help kids better understand how much God loves them. Counselors do this through outdoor activities (sports, swimming, ropes course, canoeing, and fishing), creative outlets (arts, crafts, music, dance, and a talent show), and faith connections (Bible studies, worship times, devotionals thoughts, a crucifixion/resurrection reenactment). All these activities and more help create opportunities for campers and counselors to build meaningful relationships, giving campers the chance to ask questions of / learn from positive role models and allowing counselors to use their own gifts while gaining an appreciation for the goodness and resilience of the campers.
While many camps cost between $800 – $2,000 per week, Camp of the Hills specializes in working with youth from low-income / at-risk communities. To ensure that the kids to whom we are called to serve can afford to attend, CotH only charges $60 per child for a week. This allows us to target kids who would not be able to experience a week in the outdoors otherwise and surround them with a diverse group of mentors that reflect their community.
If you’re interested in learning more about what it looks like to serve at Camp of the Hills, check out our YouTube page! A small group of counselors created some great content over Summer 2020 while campers couldn’t attend, and you can get a feel for who we are and what camp is like through some of those videos.
The application for Summer 2021 is available now! We’re already excited about all the great folks we’re going to hire!
