Join our staff
Camp West counselors consist of high school and college-age students who are committed to living their life for Jesus. These counselors boldly share their faith and are Godly role models to campers as well as their peers.
At Camp West, we know that parents are entrusting their children to us. That's why we carefully select each counselor that we hire and every counselor agrees to a background check.
Our counselors strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Making sure every camper is included, listened to and engaged with individually.
