Summer Staff
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.
