Our counselors are men and women from our local churches that love young people. They seek to make a difference in campers lives at camp AND at home!  Counselors have a unique opportunity to demonstrate the love and power of Jesus Christ in the lives of our campers. All counselors have been approved by their home church and have received training here at IRBC.  

Please contact your pastor for more information. 

Counselor Training

April 25-26, 2025

Counselor Training Weekend

This weekend is designed to give you the tools needed to build relationships with campers, equip you for conversations with your campers, and most of all challenge you to be a light to this next generation. All first time counselors are required to attend Counselor Training. Repeat counselors are required to attend every other year. But it's so much fun that we think you should come every year! (First time counselors will receive a notebook, returning counselors will receive notes to put in their notebook.)

Registration: Friday 6:15-7:15pm  (in the chapel)

Retreat Ends: Saturday 3:00pm

Meals provided: Friday Snack at 9pm (Pizza), Saturday Breakfast & Lunch.  Bring your own towels, bedding, and toiletries.  Housing is separate for guys/gals for the weekend.

Application Requirements:

• Counselor Application (required each year) - Due Date: April 15
• Background Check
• Online Child Safety Training (every two years) - Due Date: June 1

*IRBC requires background checks & online Child Safety Training.  The link for the background check & CST will be emailed to the counselor directly after their Counselor Application is submitted to IRBC.
