We are no longer taking applications for
the 2008 season.
If you are interested in becoming a part of our team,
please check back in January to apply for the 2009 season.
The counselors, assistant counselors, and CITs
(counselors-in-training) are the heart of Camp Thurman. Many of our counselors began their
relationship with the camp as campers themselves. The times they shared here were
memorable and meaningful enough that they wanted to continue their involvement with the
camp as leaders. This tradition is an important part of Camp Thurman. Some of the
counselors of the past years have gone into full-time Christian service; others have moved
on to become leaders in the community. More and more are establishing their Christian
homes and bringing their children to camp.
Each summer the Lord continues to bring us committed young people to serve as role models,
motivators, and group leaders. Qualifications, background, and pastor recommendations for
staff members are carefully checked, and counselors are chosen based on their ability to
work with children successfully, their commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ, and their
willingness to follow the camp procedures necessary to provide a safe, fun, wholesome
outdoor experience for our campers. Confidential background checks are required.
For Camp Thurman 2008 we had 95
counselors, 85 assistant counselors, and 120 CITs. The
Administrative Staff consists of the camp director (Jim Rose), the director's assistant
(Glenda Keilstrup), the camp administrator (Kristin Kimmell), and
our Team Challenge director (Cindy Hatchell). This season we
also had a Program Director (Byron Rose) and a Site Director (Blake
Bowman).
