Christian Camp Summer Staff Jobs

Christian Camp Summer Counselors

Must be at least 18 by May

GROUP CAMP COUNSELOR

Candidates must be at least one year out of high school.
Each week co-counselors (mostly working in co-ed teams) will lead 20-30 junior high and high school students through purposeful and pre-planned experiences using the incredible adventure activities at Glorieta. Displaying the love of Christ, counselors guide campers all hours of the day. They are part of creating flexible schedules that cater to each group’s needs; they lead Bible studies, build relationships and facilitate activities/group development that provide opportunities for scripture to come to life. Counselors sleep in nearby dorms with other counselors unless the group requests otherwise. They assist in daily behind-the-scenes programming and do whatever it takes to keep camp running smoothly (including cleaning, dishwashing and necessary work projects).

Family Camp Counselor

Candidates must be at least 18 years old.
A Family Camp counselor’s ultimate goal is to serve families by anticipating and meeting each family’s needs so they can grow closer to each other and to the Lord. Counselors create a space where this growth can take place by serving an assigned family each week. Counselors help run all aspects of Family Camp, which requires flexibility and adaptiveness. This includes facilitating various activities (mountain biking, ziplines, climbing, etc.), leading Bible studies or group development, and operating retail locations. Counselors also work behind the scenes to serve families by preparing food, washing dishes, cleaning rooms, and setting up or tearing down programmed events. Family Camp counselors are given an opportunity to serve sacrificially and witness God transform the lives of families.

Wilderness Guide

Candidates must be at least one year out of high school.
Wilderness Guides are in charge of each camper’s entire trip and spiritual development within the wilderness. Guides become proficient in backpacking as well as camp activities, first aid, risk management and group facilitation. Guides participate in every part of the wilderness program. When not with campers they cook meals, set up activities and do whatever it takes to make sure Glorieta, as a whole, runs smoothly.

These tasks include, but are not limited to washing dishes, running activities, lifeguarding, preparing meals, working in the coffee shop and snack shop, facilitating group development, cleaning camper rooms and conference buildings daily and cleaning all of camp at the end of each session.

Willing to step out of their comfort zones and the box of traditional camp ministry, Conference staff are excited about serving and getting to know campers in non-traditional ways. For example, Conference staff often sit with campers at meals, go to worship services with campers, create moments of conversation in passing interactions in the coffee shop and personally engage with campers in other similar situations.

The desire is for Christian camp conferences staff to be mature in their relationships with Jesus so they are able to pour into guest groups on a daily basis. To help keep staff filled up themselves, we provide small group studies, on-campus worship and many opportunities for staff mentorship in a one-on-one setting. Conference staff also supports and grows closer to one another through fun and engaging community-building group events.
