Information for Camp Counselors

Urban Hope invites a small number of college students and young professionals to come and experience urban ministry through living in the community and working as counselors at the Summer Missions Experience.

• This summer camp is a day camp for youth (grades 5-10) mostly from the Walltown neighborhood.
• The missions experience will also challenge counselors to deeply examine God’s Word on poverty, justice, and reconciliation.
• If you are teachable, flexible, and willing to serve others, this is the opportunity for you.

What would a previous counselor tell an aspiring counselor?

• "I'd recommend it to anyone who is serious about the inner city and has a heart to be a catalyst for change." - Sarah, Pennsylvania
• "I would tell them to forget everything they have ever learned, to forget every book they have ever read about coming to an urban area, and just come into it anew." - Jason, High Point, NC
