Summer Staff Positions
Working at a Christian camp is a great way to spend a summer. Summer staff make a lasting difference in kids' lives and also experience a summer they'll never forget. There is no other summer job you can have that will provide the breadth of experience that a camp position offers.
Staff positions fall into three different categories, counseling, program and support. Each position has its own responsibilities, but all camp staff work together to introduce kids to the love of Jesus and to encourage them to grow in their personal relationship with him. All staff can expect to assist in other areas when needed. Program and support staff also serve as cabin buddies throughout the summer.
