About Counseling
How do I get to be a counselor at KBC?
In order to be a counselor at KBC you must be at least 15 and you must have attended Leadership Training Camp twice. The first summer you work on a crew - dishes, cleaning, maintenance, kitchen, garden, etc. The second year you attend LTC you have the option of being trained how to be a counselor. We have all our counselors work with us on staff their first summer so that we can get to know them before entrusting campers to them. That way we know all of our counselors personally and do not have to rely on references alone.
About KBC
What is KBC all about?
Kansas Bible Camp is a non-profit, independent, Christian camp committed to encouraging young people to examine the teachings and claims of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through daily Scripture lessons and messages, campers are encouraged to trust Christ as their Savior and to commit their lives to Him as Lord.
Interspersed with chapel services, Scripture memory, and group devotions, the camp program includes sports, games, and activities. Camp activities include: swimming, bicycling, canoeing, trampolines, crafts, hiking, and nature classes. When what was originally the Hutchinson Country Club was purchased in 1956, it became Kansas Bible Camp. This Main Campus has been modified to be able to accommodate 120 campers per week. In 2001 the camp purchased what was Mitchell Grade School and that building became the East Campus. Up to 50 campers at a time enjoy using this facility. We have a counselor to camper ratio of about 1:8. Kansas Bible Camp has a financial policy of relying on the Lord's provision through His people to supply for all our needs. This allows us to present the gospel free of charge. Our staff, cooks, and counselors, having received God's invaluable gift of salvation, volunteer their time and labor in order that campers might hear the good news of God's love for them. What is the purpose of KBC?
The goals and objectives of Kansas Bible Camp are as follows:

How much does camp cost?
Kansas Bible Camp does not charge campers to attend. However, in the past we have spent about $130 per week per camper. People who donate more than the average help cover the expenses of people who donate less. Until the summer ends we do not know what the average is. However, all donations are spent for food, untilities, upkeep, and improvements of the camp facilities. We are not funded by a foundation or government grant.

What is the difference between the Main Campus and the East Campus?
The Main Campus is located on 120 acres. Over 100 campers can come each week and learn about God's Word, play sports, make crafts and much more. The East Campus has a more personal feel. Interspersed with Bible lessons, Scripture memory, and group devotions, the camp program includes sports, games, and wholesome activities designed specifically for girls only. Some girls camps may have fashion shows, make-up parties, and aerobics. The size of the camp allows for individual attention and togetherness.
The East Campus facilities are sometimes available in fall and spring for gatherings such as church retreats, family reunions, and picnics. The building features:
