COUNSELORS

Churches registering campers as a group are required to provide counselors for those campers.  This allows your church precious opportunities for relationship-building and follow-up.  All counselors should meet the following criteria…
             1. Completion of a Volunteer Counselor Form (to be submitted to Cowboy’s Rest online, by mail, or by email at least one month prior to the start of your event).
             2. 18 years of age or older.
                       - 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. 
             3. Spiritually and emotionally mature.
                       - All counselors will be asked to sign our Doctrinal and Lifestyle statements ​
                       - All counselors will be responsible to read our Counselor Handbook and sign a statement agreeing to abide by the content therein.
                 - Please remember that as a volunteer, you are signing up to be a helpful example to the kids, serving Christ.
             4. Physically  and emotionally able to handle a rigorous schedule, much physical activity, and potentially little sleep.
             5. The ratio of campers to counselors in our cabins is 7:1.
                        - 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.
