Counseling staff must be confident individuals who are secure in their faith and ready to lead small groups of campers.

Rec Staff serve as both lifeguards and high ropes facilitators. These staff are not tied to a specific small group, but instead work off a schedule set by the Recreation Coordinator. This group of staff works together to ensure that all activities are safe and fun. They also serve in other capacities around camp such as leading energizers, all camp games, or playing characters in a skit. Rec Staff must have a good work ethic, good physical ability, and be able to command attention to keep activities safe.

Worship at Asbury Hills is a big part of the summer experience. A typical band at Asbury Hills has vocals, guitar, drums, bass, and keys.
