College Summer Staff

If you will be in high school in the Fall of 2025, apply for our High School Summer Staff program.

How does our staff team work?

Working at Camp Ghormley is not only a job – it is a ministry. Our staff team must first be unified in Christ, as one body (1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Ephesians 4:1-8) that is working together. This is necessary to not only preach the Gospel, but to live it and exemplify it to our guests and campers.

Every position at Camp Ghormley is unique and necessary for the function of camp, each with it’s own set of responsibilities. Because our team is made up of humans, and life can get in the way of our common goal, each staff member must also have an ability to be flexible and help in many different areas.

Who and when are we hiring for Summer Camp?

We are hiring individuals that agree with our Statement of Faith, are willing to learn and be discipled (and disciple others), and can commit to work an eight week summer season. Hiring will begin February, 2025, and we hope to fill all summer staff positions by the end of April and will continue to hire until all positions are filled.

Our first week starts with staff training, beginning on June 10, 2025 (Leadership Staff Training begins earlier), and the summer ends on August 3, 2025. Opportunities to stay at camp and continue to serve (and be paid) may be available through Labor Day weekend in September.
