Adopt A Counselor Program
What is the Adopt A Counselor program?
This is your opportunity to raise additional support from friends, family, and your church. People are willing to give and want to support your ministry efforts this summer. There are several jobs you could have applied for that pay more, but you see the value in coming to CRC for your own holistic growth and for the benefit of the campers.
How does Adopt A Counselor work?
Your job is to write a letter asking for financial support and prayer from friends, family, and church members to support you, as you participate in the ministry at CRC. In your letter, share why you’re working at CRC, the impact CRC has on your life, and the impact CRC has on your campers. Have a parent proof read your letter and mail them to friends and family. Social media and email may be effective strategies as well for raising support.
In an increasingly digital age, a hand written letter can speak volumes and stand out!

When sending out letters, be sure to include a copy of the Adopt A Counselor Form. Those that partner with you this summer will need to fill out the bottom section of the form and mail it back to CRC's Office.

A few things to remember:
- The more effort you put into this program, the more likely you’ll see better results.
- Make your letters personal. Explain what the Adopt A Counselor program is and why you’re taking part.
- Share the impact that your ministry at CRC will have in the lives of the campers.
- Share the impact that your ministry at CRC will have (or had) on your life.
- Explain why you need their support and how their support will help you.
- Remind supporters that their contributions are tax deductible, and they'll receive a receipt from CRC for their contribution.
- After camp is over, send thank you notes to each of your supporters. Tell them the impact that CRC had on your life.
- You’re looking for ministry partners, not just people who will give you money
