Intentionality: A Counselor's #1 Priority
Intentionality: A Counselor's #1 Priority

At Heartland, you know how strongly we believe in the benefits of small group camping. While it gives your campers the ability to make friendships with fellow campers, it also allows the intentional building of friendships with their counselors. As the leaders of their family groups, counselors know they play a critical role in your child’s camp experience, and they don’t take that lightly. Our counselors seek to intentionally get to know each of their campers, taking time to interact with them in the family group, but also getting to know them on an individual level. Camp is full of opportunities to be intentional with your children, but we see this especially in Bible study times, during meals, and during activities.
