We're now accepting applications for our 2014 summer staff! We would love to have you for the entire month (June 30 – July 31) but if you can only make it for one week of camp, that's okay too. You can find the dates on the Summer Camps page or in the application package. Please note that staff training June 30 –July 4 is mandatory. If this is going to be a problem for you, please get in touch with us. Please take a look at the list of positions we're looking to fill this summer (the list is at the bottom of this page) and make note of what interests you in the relevant section on the application form. We want to hear from you about what you would like to do at Charis Camp this summer!

 

For each application you will be asked to provide 3 personal references. One should be a teacher or employer, another your pastor, and the third a mature Christian friend. Please provide each of your chosen references with the link to the form at the bottom of this page.

 

We are doing everything we can to keep Charis Camp great and to make it accessible to as many people as possible. As a result, most positions are volunteer, but when you apply please ask about how you can raise money for your summer at camp. Camp ministry is a missions field, so think of it like raising money for a missions trip. And hey, if you are having any troubles with your application or just have some more questions you would like to ask before you apply, please drop me a line and we'll talk about it!
