Junior Week Counselors (Copy)
Counselor Bios
As the theme “Under Construction” suggests, this is going to be a fun week of learning, having fun, and meeting new friends. Our counselors would love to tell you a little bit about themselves so you have an idea of who your camper will be with throughout the week!
Our counselors, alongside the Junior Week staff, are committed to ensuring your child has a clean, safe, and fun environment to learn all they can about God!
