Work at Camp
Summer Staff 2010
As imitators of Christ’s love we are called to serve, not to be served. And amazingly, God calls us by name to be his disciples. What will you do to answer His call? We are searching for college-aged people who are willing to go out on a limb and do the extraordinary life-changing work Jesus calls us to do in His name.
On-Site and Day Camp Counselors, Lifeguards, Cooks, and Site Assistants all play an important part of our summer ministry team. Whether you are on the climbing tower, hiking up to Mountain Village, or playing in the pool, you have the chance teach kids about the life-giving love of Jesus Christ!
Camp Lutherwood Ministries serves children, youth and families across Oregon, Southwest Washington, and Northern California. Lutherwood also serves congregations through Confirmation Camp (camp where the church attends with their youth group) and Day Camp (camp that travels to a church). With both our on site and off site camping programs, you will have the opportunity to work with campers ranging from Pre-School aged through High School as well as adult and family events.
You will have the opportunity to travel around the Northwest and stay in homes and congregations. Staff are paid a salary generally ranging from $170- $200 a week. Food and a place to lay your head are provided all summer long which makes the not so great pay really not so bad either.
Lutherwood is located 25 miles west of Eugene and is surrounded by forests, fields, and creeks. Through your patience, love, and caring, campers lives will be changed and they will have the understanding and experience to passionately live out the Gospel.
Not sure if you are ready, don't worry, applicants must love children, must have a strong desire to serve and live in Christian community, and conduct themselves as responsible, Christ-seeking persons. The rest can be taught, molded, and encouraged. Christ equips the called and does not always call the equiped.
We expect our Summer Ministry Team to fulfill the mission of Lutherwood by giving 100%. We are an equal opportunity employer. Have committments this summer like a wedding? No problem, absense from camp can be alowed with prior approval from the program director.
