If you would like to serve this summer as a volunteer counselor, or help in any other capacity, please contact Tall Timber Ranch. To serve as a counselor you should be at least 16 years old, and care about young people. All counselor recruitment will be handled through the Tall Timber office, with a strong emphasis on working with churches to send adults up to counsel campers from their own churches. You could minister as a relevant role model for a group of enthusiastic and searching young people - and we guarantee you’ll be ministered to in return!

Why not volunteer to counsel?

Did you know that in several recent surveys, close to 80% of committed Christians pointed to a camping experience as the primary turning point in their faith. Counselors are the key to any successful camp experience, and volunteers like you are the backbone of our camping program. You could minister as a relevant role model for a group of enthusiastic and searching young people - and we guarantee you'll be rninistered to in return! Just read these quotes. They are people like you, who simply took time to give:

• My counselor was so wonderful..he spent a lot of time helping me understand how to live my life for Christ. -Camper
• I met two great counselors who took the time to really listen to my problems - and I love them for that. -Camper
• I came to camp unsure about working with young people, but I'm going away with a great feeling. I received as much as I gave! I feel confident now to help in my home church. -Counselor

What would I do?

As a counselor, you will live and share with a group of 6-8 campers, lead daily devotions and Bible studies as prepared by the Spiritual Leader, and participate in games, meals, recreation, evening programs, campfires, and worship.
