Opportunities abound for individuals and church groups to support the ministry of Camp Kanesatake through staffing and volunteer opportunities.

Each summer we employ many college age students from June through August as summer staff serving as both cabin counselors and support staff (kitchen and operational staff). 

There is opportunity for teenagers to participate in the summer staff experience for two weeks during the summer with our Leadership Camp (July 15-27). 

 

Summer Staff

Working at camp is not just a chance to serve the Lord with your time.  Staff members also:

• Develop skills in leadership, teamwork, problem solving/conflict resolution, communication, time management, and supervision
• Learn more about themselves and their strengths
• Grow in their faith
• Experience the joys of living in a Christian community in the midst of God’s beautiful creation

Working at Camp Kanesatake is an opportunity for an exciting, challenging, and rewarding summer!

 

God used my experience of working at Camp K over the past summer to show me how He has a unique plan for my life. I was able to be an example to kids each week and pour into their lives out of the blessings that God has given me.   
Matt Litzinger, Summer Staff 2009/2010

 

Each summer, about 30 people are hired to serve at Camp Kanesatake as either counselors or operational staff. These staff members enable camp to run smoothly while serving campers and volunteers.  If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, desire to serve God, enjoy working with youth, and are willing to be a leader, you are probably a great prospect for one of our summer teams!  Please fill our our online application!

Positions are generally for people 18 years of age and older, unless otherwise specified.
