Camp Roger

Camp Cou

May - August 2019 • Rockford, MI

What I liked

I liked refocusing my life on what life is really about. Every day you get to celebrate God and help kids see him too. Plus nature is awesome and you spend a lot of time in it.

What I wish was different

I think the camp still needs to shake some of its more harmful traditions. However, I think they are making progress.

Advice

Bring a raincoat.

What I liked

I loved having the opportunity to work with kids and share the awesomeness of God and the woods with them. I also loved the community that the counselors build with each other and the fun times that we had together. While challenging at times I would totally recommend working at Camp Roger.

Camp Counselor

June - August 2019 • Rockford, MI

What I liked

The community is very supportive. I learned a ton about child management and working in a tight knit community. There was so much pure joy at this summer camp.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time off. When you work as a counselor you are on all the time, except for your few days off.

Head Counselor

May - August 2019 • Rockford, MI

What I liked

I was really able to develop my personal gifts in this role, particularly mentorship skills and some conflict management (an area I need a lot of growth in). Besides my personal growth, I don't think there was ever a day where something joyful didn't happen. I have never laughed harder than some of the moments at Camp Roger and I have made lifelong friends in three short months.
