A Blast!
You can make a difference this summer! Camp Luther is just one of 35 LCMS (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) camps offering a variety of positions each summer. Serving as a Camp Luther summer staff member or at another NLOMA (National Lutheran Outdoors Ministry Association) camp is challenging, rewarding and fun. Those chosen to serve can expect to grow professionally and spiritually. Many life-long friendships were born during summers at Camp Luther. It's not an easy job, but the rewards are eternal.
Camp Luther summer staff positions include:
Male and Female Counselors
Lifeguards
Kitchen Assistants
Arts and Crafts Coordinators
Housekeeping/Storekeeping
Maintenance Assistants
Benefits and Length of Contract:
Salary includes room, board and fringe benefits. Church work students are eligible for scholarships through the North Wisconsin District - LCMS. Most 2010 contracts will require staff to be on site from June 1 through August 24.
Qualifications:
Applicants for counselor positions must be at least 18 years of age and enrolled at a college, university, or tech. school. Counselor applicants must be members of a Lutheran church. Prospective counselors should have a strong desire to share their Christian faith, work with children, spend time in the out-of-doors.
Applicants for specialty staff positions (kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance, etc.) must be at least 16 years of age.
Work and Time Off:
You will work very hard if selected to a part of the Camp Luther staff. Counselors will work from early morning to late in the evening. You will spend nearly every hour of the day with children, and will have very little personal time. Specialty staff members may have grueling and unglamorous duties to fulfill each day. Counselors receive half of their weekends off. Other staff receive a combination of mid-week days and weekends. The total for all staff equals one day a week. Staff may request particular weekends off. Specialty staff members often have evenings free except for Canteen duties. Counselors also receive one hour off each afternoon.
Application Process:
Apply online at www.nloma.org. Or, click here! Your application will then be forwarded to Camp Luther.
Once you have applied, a Camp Luther staff member will contact you to set up an interview. If you are attending a LCMS college, a NLOMA representative will be on your campus in January or February to conduct interviews. The application deadline is January 31. (applications are accepted after January 31 if positions remain open.)
Most applicants will be notified of their status in early March.
