Camp Volunteers
We are always looking for counselors to join our camp staff!
Counselors
These staff work directly with the campers in all parts of the daily program. Counselors supervise campers in cabins, provide leadership during family group time, and participate in large-group camp activities with their campers. By the start of the camp session, counselors must be 18 years old (21 for Senior High Camp).
Counselors-in-Training (CITs)
Individuals who are between 15 years and 8 months old and 17 years and 8 months old, who want to support camp ministry, can serve as CITs. These staff specifically support Elementary Camp and Junior High Camp.
Leadership Teams
Classic camps are lead by a team of clergy and lay people, comprised to provide spiritual guidance, staff care, and camper care. In conjunction with the Program Coordinator, they work together, pre camp, to plan camp, recruit staff, care for campers and staff and so much more.
All volunteers are required to attend meetings and a variety of trainings. Upon review and acceptance of volunteer applications, individuals are supplied with the meeting/training schedule. In the event a volunteer cannot attend one or more of those meetings they are encouraged to apply when their schedule better fits the needs of our summer campers. All staff and volunteers are subject to a criminal background check.
