BE A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST.
BE A COUNSELOR.

Being an outstanding role model is the unifying theme among our faith-filled, talented, and caring counselor team. This is the most important position at Camp Celebrate—and the most rewarding! You’ll spend a week living in a cabin with your campers and other counselors. The cabin community is the truly the heart of camp and where the closest friendships are built and our counselors are able to share their faith with their campers. Your role as a mentor, role model, hero, and friend cannot be overemphasized. Counselors attend and teach activities to campers, pray & share meals with them, facilitate activities, attend Mass with your cabin group, and help make every camper’s experience memorable and exceptional. It’s a challenging job, but you’ll receive a lot of support from the Staff, Directors, and God will guide you.
