FAQ’s
-
Camp lasts roughly 10 weeks. Depending on what part of staff you are on, there will be a 1-2 week training period before our first campers arrive!
-
Yes! If you are interested in volunteering your time for shorter periods, reach out to us and we will discuss it on a case-by-case basis.
-
We can usually work around this. It is best if the counselors do not miss any time during youth camp.
-
No! Folks who have been changed by Jesus and want to see that in others are the only qualifications we need for you to be on staff.
-
It depends. Everyone but counselors live in same-gender, communal housing on the grounds. All housing includes bathrooms, a bed, and closet space! Counselors live in the cabins with their campers on the grounds for the first half of the summer.
-
We are fortunate to be able to pay our summer staff, but we do encourage those hired to write support letters for their time serving at camp over the summer. Pay depends on experience and position.
-
Yes! We run a retreat season through October and we need a handful of staff for those events. Housing can be provided at camp, too!
-
Camp teaches you SO MANY marketable and hirable skills from: teamwork, to leadership opportunities to running heavy machinery to barista-ing in one of our coffee shops! We are also able to work with staff’s internship requirements for a myriad of degree programs. Just ask!
