  COUNSELORS

Cowboy's Rest employ counselors and is able to provide them for your group.  However, in the interest of relationship-building and follow-up opportunities, we strongly encourage your group to provide counselors from your own church for your campers. 

 

 Counselor Criteria:

1.       18 years of age or older

a.      in the case of high school camp, your counselors must be at least 1 year out of high school and preferably at least 3 years older than the oldest campers in their cabins

2.      Spiritually and emotionally mature.

a.      All counselors will be asked to sign our Doctrinal and Lifestyle statements.

b.      All counselors will be responsible to read our Counselor Handbook and sign a statement agreeing to abide by the content therein.

3.      Physically and emotionally able to handle a rigorous schedule, much physical activity, and potentially little sleep.

4.      The ratio of campers to counselors in our cabins is 7:1.

            a. If one of your counselors is with a group smaller than 7, Cowboy’s Rest may request that this counselor  accept campers from other groups to fill the cabin.

5.    Counselors must bring with them a signed Counselor Medical Form in case of emergency

 

 Counselor Fees:
Your group will not be charged for counselors, provided that your counselors meet the above criteria, and any counselors exceeding the 7:1 ratio are willing to counsel campers from other groups in order to fill their cabins.

                                                                example 1: your group brings 11 boys and 2 male counselors.  Counselor 1 counsels 7 boys from your group.  Counselor 2 counsels 4 boys from your group plus 3 boys from another.  Both counselors come free.

                                                                  example 2: your group brings 5 girls and 2 female counselors.  Both counselors want to be in the same cabin with the girls.  Counselor 1 comes free.  Counselor 2 will be asked to pay the same tuition cost charged to campers.

 

 Counselor Discount:
     
-         groups bringing counselors will receive a $10 discount for each camper who is covered by a qualified
             counselor

         -  maximum ratio of campers to counselor is 7:1.

         - camper must be the same gender as the counselor in order to be considered "covered" for discount purposes
