Each week of camp, summer staff are assigned to different positions depending on what’s happening that particular week. For on-site programs, summer staff may be assigned to be a lifeguard, head counselor, kitchen, or program assistant. Most weeks, summer staff will stay in cabins with campers as additional counselors at night. Days start with a short chapel service called Morning Watch and end at night with an all-camp campfire. Everyday our campers are led by staff through team building, games, worship, swimming, and Bible studies.
