Holston Camp & Retreat Center Overnight Camp Counselor and Staff Application 2025

Holston Summer Camp has been serving campers and families for over 60 years. We believe in the power of an outdoor, Christian learning environment. Holston is a place where people can come to feel loved, valued, heard, and accepted. Summer Camp provides stimulating activities that offer a daily opportunity for camper’s to step out of their comfort zone, and the chance to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Being a Summer Camp Counselor allows you to be working directly with the campers to ensure that they have a safe, fun, and enriching experience! Plus, you’ll get to lead some incredible adventures, like backpacking on the AT, canoeing down the New River, rock climbing, zip lining, singing, worshipping, crafting, and so much more!
