This job description is intended to help ensure the summer camping program runs as smoothly as possible. It is by no means exhaustive, but meant as a guideline so that we all know what is expected. Our focus is always on providing a safe, enjoyable, and spiritually enriching environment for the campers and fellow staff.

Any infractions and/or camper behavior problems need to be brought to the attention of the director.

Read your Bible daily.
Prioritize the needs of the campers above your own needs.
Be able to maintain your composure during times of stress, and lack of sleep.
Be present and participate in all scheduled activities except during scheduled "down time."
Stay on camp property from registration through check out of each camp, unless prior arrangements have been made.
Remain in the cabin with your campers after lights out until the morning bell.
Lead small group activities, including Biblical discussion, with children of various ages.
Set a good example for the campers and demonstrate the love of Christ through your words and actions.
Speak at campfire or large group activities as needed throughout the summer.
Enjoy the camping season and strive to strengthen your own relationship with Christ.
