Camper Buddies are rising 10th-12th grade volunteer counselors. As a Camper Buddy, you are paired (or put in a group) with a Bethany’s Kids camper who you will spend the duration of the camp session with- participating in the camp activities and adhering to the schedule.

Adult Staff volunteers (21+) take on supportive roles throughout the session (cabin watch, activity & program setups, health hut runs, etc.

Bethany’s Kids is a formative time for our Camper Buddies to learn and truly understand how to care for others and treat people with dignity, no matter the differences. Volunteering as a camper buddy offers the opportunity to accumulate community service hours.
