Summer Staff – Live, Lead, and Make an Impact

Spend your summer doing work that matters. Join a team that pours into young people, builds lifelong friendships, and creates unforgettable experiences in the mountains of Western North Carolina. If you’re looking for a role that challenges you, grows your leadership, and surrounds you with a purpose-driven and faith based community, this is it.

Position – What You’ll Do
As a Summer Staff team member, you’ll mentor campers, lead activities, and help create a safe, energetic, and encouraging environment. We are an all boys Camp and a majority of our staff live in Cabins. Depending on your role, you may serve as a cabin counselor, lifeguard, or activity skill head. You’ll be responsible for guiding campers through daily programs, modeling strong character, and helping them grow in confidence and independence.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking enthusiastic, responsible, and relational leaders who love working with kids and thrive in community. Ideal candidates are adaptable, team-oriented, and excited to invest deeply in others. Previous camp experience is helpful but not required.

Where You’ll Be
You’ll live and work in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, surrounded by 500+ acres of forests, trails, and open fields. Staff typically live on property in rustic cabins with campers or in separate staff housing.

When
Our summer season runs from  May 30th through  August 6th. The first week is set up for staff training. Partial summer options are also available

Room and Board
Full room and board are provided throughout the summer season, including housing and daily meals when campers are in session.

How You’ll Grow
Staff receive hands-on leadership development, team-building training, and mentorship throughout the summer. You’ll gain practical experience in communication, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and servant leadership—skills that transfer far beyond camp.

Why Join Us?
Because this is more than a summer job. It’s an opportunity to shape lives, deepen your own character, and be part of something bigger than yourself. You’ll leave with lifelong friendships, stronger leadership skills, and stories you’ll tell for years.
