Summer Staff!

A Great Opportunity to Work in Camping Ministry

This seven-week employment period will give you an opportunity to minister to children and youth while living in the beautiful California Coastal Redwoods.  With a focus on relational and outdoor ministry, Westminster Woods Summer Camp will give you experience working in small and large group settings with youth ages 7-18. Our summer staff consists of 70 college students living and working together for the purpose of Westminster Woods.

Westminster Woods is looking for young adults who:

• Show evidence of active growth in their Christian faith
• Genuinely enjoy working with people, especially youth
• Are in good health and full of energy, with an appreciation of the outdoors
• Are comfortable with community living
• Are willing to abide by and be accountable for daily work standards and personal conduct
• Are willing to actively participate in the purpose of Westminster Woods:

"To guide persons to Jesus Christ so that through him they may come to a true knowledge of God, to a living faith, and through the power of the Holy Spirit live as Christ's disciples through the fellowship of the church."

Camping Ministry calls for a wide range of backgrounds, skills, and interests.  You will be hired in two positions for the summer: as a camp counselor you will have the chance to directly interact with a group of campers, helping them to grow in Christ; as a department member, you will work on a team in one of these areas:

• Archery
• Crafts                      
• Child Care     
• First Aid
• Kitchen      
• Office Assistant      
• Lifeguard      
• Challenge Course

What Westminster Woods Has to Offer You...

You will have the opportunity to utilize and discover a variety of skills and gain experience in effective Christian service. Throughout the summer you’ll be in close contact with campers, weekly speakers, and other staff members who come from a variety of backgrounds (including staff from other countries), and we expect you’ll all learn a lot from one another.

In addition to your counseling and departmental responsibilities, you will be involved in daily staff devotions, a staff auction, Sunday Worship, and other special events. We believe you’ll come away with a variety of experiences, memories, and friendships that you’ll prize for years to come!
