✨Summer Staff Highlight – Program Specialists✨
What is it?
Program Specialists run the camp’s activities and skills classes. Each Program Team member will stay in a camper cabin and support the Cabin Counselor whenever they are not scheduled in a program area. Program Specialists will be assigned to teach and facilitate one or more of the following: hand crafts, shooting sports, boating, fishing, challenge course, outdoor education, field games, archery tag, etc. Program Specialists are members of the Program Team.
What are the requirements?
Program Specialists should be at least 16 years old. A commitment of 7-8 weeks is preferred, but if you only have a week or two of your summer to give, we’d love to talk to you about serving! Training is required if you don’t have prior experience.
What does it pay?
Program Specialists are guaranteed a base salary of $1,200 for the whole summer, and they also have the option to raise additional funds through support raising. Potential summer salary is up to $5,500 with support raised. Program Specialists who are only able to serve for a week at a time will be paid $150 each week they serve at camp.
What are the benefits?
Along with regular salaries, all summer staff are provided with housing, meals during the week, and time off on weekends and daily throughout the week. Other priceless benefits to serving at camp are the opportunity to help kids grow in their walk with Jesus, and develop their own spiritual maturity, leadership experience, and job skills!
