A Word to Camp Counselors

Camp and retreat season is here, and behind every powerful student experience are faithful counselors who show up, serve, pray, listen, and point students to Christ. In this episode, Huey, Dorothy, and Justin share a word to youth counselors preparing to serve at camps and retreats. Drawing from years of ministry experience, they offer practical encouragement, honest warnings, and spiritual reflections for every stage of the experience—before, during, and after camp. Whether you're a first-time counselor or a seasoned volunteer, this conversation will help you think more intentionally about your role, your expectations, and how God often works through ordinary faithfulness. Join us as we discuss what it means to serve students well and steward these unique ministry moments for the glory of God.
