The ages of the kids that I counseled were anywhere between 6-18 years old. Therefore, my duties varied from walking campers to the bathroom, to answering deep theological questions. I was responsible for getting my campers to meals and activities in a timely manner, for aiding them in their faith journey, helping them memorize bible verses and talking with them about Jesus. I also needed to do mediating when conflicts arose between campers in our cabin.
