Questions Answered

We want to make the application process as simple as possible for you while also abiding by important hiring practices and laws. Below is the step by step process.

  • Fill out a short application. (This just helps show us that you’re interested in learning more)
  • Within 1-3 days a director contacts you and has a short 10 min phone conversation
  • If still interested, you can fill out our full application. This includes three references.
  • Soon after getting your application a director will set up a 45-60 minute skype/facetime interview
  • A few days after that interview you will be given a decision

Bethany Birches runs week-long programs for kids of a variety of ages. Each week, the campers arrive on Sunday afternoon and go home on Friday evening. There is a three year age span each week and the schedule changes from age to age randomly. We serve campers as young as 5 and as old as 17 (though most are between 10 and 13 years old)

To help keep campers excited we adjust each day slightly by introducing different Theme Days, Activities, and Interest Groups

Theme Days:

Messy Monday, Tidy up Tuesday, Wet and Wild Wednesday, Theater Thursday,

Activities:

All camp creek hike, cardboard boat building, Shindig, Pond Party, Off-site trips, Mission Impossible, etc

Interest Groups:

Often offered on Tuesday and Thursday, these sessions allow for staff to share specific skills with groups of campers who are interested in learning those skills.  Archery, crafts, wilderness survival, journalism, canning, rock climbing, etc

Food and lodging provided, no utilities, and minimal transportation costs from living onsite mean you have few expenses during the summer. Many past staff have reported having more money at the end of a summer at camp than they did working other summers. On top of that, you have an incredible opportunity for personal growth while serving others.

This is how past counselors have described their BBC
Experience (they were limited to one sentence).

Camp is hard work! We understand that and want to help each staff person be successful in their different jobs. All staff receive 1-2 hours off each day as well as 24+ hours off each weekend.

Weekends are off – yours to do what you will. The weekends below will be different than the others. These are for our staff bonding trip, additional training for a special week, and putting on a church service at camp. Details about these special weekend will be announced at the beginning of staff training, and we will still make sure all staff have at-least 24 hours off.

Counselors will be at camp from the third weekend in June through the second weekend in August. Cooks, video staff and program staff will have a slightly different schedule but it’s mostly the same.

Special Weekends 2018:

June 15-17: Staff training week. Staff will not have a normal weekend off

July 20-22: Staff Enrichment Friday night and Saturday morning- A relaxing and exciting time to hang out as a staff team halfway through the summer. (Free Saturday evening and Sunday morning)

August 2-5: Agape Training- Free evening Aug 2-evengin Aug 3. Agape Training Aug 3 and 4. Training is for our specialized Agape week where all campers have at least one parent incarcerated. The training is to help us meet the special emotional needs of these campers.

August 11-13: Staff Deorientation. Sessions and activities designed to help launch you back into the “real world”

Bethany Birches campers come from many different places.  Wealthy and poor; stable homes and social service agencies; churched and unchurched. A BBC group of campers is as diverse as the state of Vermont.  We are an outreach ministry since it is here that many campers first hear of Jesus’ unconditional love. We try to be an image of Christ for the campers in our daily interactions so that they can come to know him through us as we have fun together at camp. Bethany Birches Camp is rustic with a perspective of learning and leading through adventure.
