Staff & Counsellor Application

Applicants must be at least 16 years of age in order to apply for Summer Staff positions (or turning 16 within the current year). We are unable to accept applications from those who are not 16. Priority is given to those committing to the entire summer. We value individuals who are team players and purposeful in encouraging and supporting all those on their team.

For Counsellors, we require 15 years old for Scamps & Champs, 16 for Jr. Teen, and 20 for Sr. Teen. Counsellor positions require staff members to have a willingness to serve, a positive attitude, and a desire to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus.
We will continue to take applications until all positions are filled.
