Book Description

December 19, 1998
Each summer, thousands of God's servants gather at Christian camps across the country to take up the challenge of becoming counselors to tens of thousands of young campers. Now they have some new help in preparing for their demanding and important role. The Christian Camp Counselor, released in December 1998 by Qwanoes Publishing, is written specifically for the spiritual environment found in a Christian summer camp.

This book fills a ten-year gap in new and comprehensive resources available to train camp counselors. The Christian Camp Counselor has a fresh approach and a spiritual focus, challenging camp staff to become counselors after Gods own heart. It is full of practical ideas for applying biblical principles to the specific context of the Christian camp. You will appreciate the authors focus on Jesus Christ as the prime model of what a camp counselor should be, and the comprehensive and readable style of his writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid indeed, November 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Christian Camp Counselor (Paperback)
What can I say? I laughed, I cried, on a scale of one to ten I give it a two thumbs up! Jim Badke has written a book that is extremely useful for not only for one going into a cabin for a week, but as well as a person who generally has a lot of contact with kids. The Christian Camp Counselor is a great resource on learning about being effective with the kids your in contact with. It gives great advice about situations that may or may not arise, helping a person learn from what Jim Badke has learned over the years. Jim Badke writes from a voice of experience and it is truly demonstrated. I couldn't recommend a better book.

5.0 out of 5 stars God takes top spot in new guidebook for counselors., April 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Christian Camp Counselor (Paperback)
The title is accurate. The Christian Camp Counselor really is about being a Christian and being involved in camping ministry (emphasis on ministry. While the book contains a wealth of practical advice that would serve effectively in secular environments, the author understands camp primarily as a means God can and frequently does use to draw people - both campers and staff - into a closer relationship with him. The Christian Camp Counselor will undoubtably be used as an introductory text, but it will enjoy a longer shelf life as a reference manual. A short review like this gives short shrift to the numerous practical tips imbedded in every section, advice that specifically targets the down-to-earth needs of Christian camp counselors. (Review by Doug Koop, editor of Christian Week, in March 30, 1999 edition).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and extremely practical resource for a Camp Counselor, April 7, 2010
This review is from: The Christian Camp Counselor (Paperback)
Do you want to be a well-equipped and effective Camp Counselor? Do you work with children of all ages at your church or in your neighborhood? If you answered yes to either question, The Christian Camp Counselor will be an invaluable resource for you! After reading through it, I found it to be a handy reference guide to help me understand different age groups and give me ideas for addressing challenges with my campers (i.e. building cabin unity, encouraging spiritual growth, and teaching practical lessons about growing up). The Christian Camp Counselor was definitely the tool I needed to be prepared for a summer of camp counseling.
