Each church group is required to bring one chaparone, or counselor, for every five youth participants of the same gender. Counselors must be 21 years of age or older and must reside in the same room as their youth, assist with activities, and work alongside youth on a work crew. Counselors are not allowed to bring children who are ineligible because of grade level to participate in the project. No private sleeping arrangements or other arrangements are available for counselors with children or for couples.
This year's counselors are:
- Eva Lam
- Rich Ingram
