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
Each summer, about 20 people are hired to serve at Camp Kanesatake in one of four team areas: kitchen, maintenance, office, and program. 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 see job descriptions for more information and online application materials.
Start date: Sunday, June 6th. End date: Friday, August 13th. If you cannot commit to the entire summer or if school commitments conflict with these dates, please contact us. We may have some flexability.
Positions are generally for people 18 years of age and older, unless otherwise specified.
