Counselors are the core to all of our summer programs. They spend the summer living in our cabins and lodges with 8-10 campers and are responsible for their physical, emotional and spiritual well being during their time at camp. That means leading bible studies, taking their cabin on adventures, eating s’mores, making friendship bracelets, playing gaga-ball, singing silly songs and leaning into the questions and challenges that kids bring to camp. Kids come to camp from all different backgrounds and with diverse life experiences, and our counselors are on the front lines of communicating the Gospel Truth of God’s love for them through their words and their care for the campers.

Co-Counselors serve in a very similar role to a traditional counselor, only they have a secondary role which they spend some time doing during the daily activity blocks. These roles include: Lifeguard, Digital Media Team, Target Sports Coordinator, HUB Coordinator, and Craft Hall Coordinator.

There are four summer programs (Classic Camp, Next Level, Little Ligs and Family Camp) that counselors and co-counselors can be placed in during the summer with ages ranging from 6 year olds, all the way up to 17 year olds. During the application and training process, we’ll work with every counselor to place them with the age group that best fits their abilities, and do our best to equip them for all the challenges and adventures they’ll face as a counselor at Ligonier Camp. Throughout the summer, all of our staff will participate in staff bible studies, weekly worship gatherings, and one on one discipleship with our summer leadership team.

Counselors must be a minimum age of 18 years of age with a year of college or comparable experience completed at the time of employment and a committed Christian involved in Christian community and ongoing personal spiritual growth.
