Join our team and see what God can do in and through you. 

If you are willing to give up part of your summer in exchange for a life changing opportunity, then The Wilderness may be the place for you to serve.

We are looking for young adults who are sold out to the Lord Jesus Christ and are willing to be trained to reach young people for His Glory. We see our staff as a key element to the fundamental success of our program. Serving at The Wilderness Christian Camp should not be taken lightly and should be bathed in prayer. This is not a "summer job" opportunity, but rather a ministry opportunity to serve the King of Kings. 

If you are a  student preparing for full time ministry, you may be eligible for "internship"
credits from your college or university.

Staff Training - June 7- 11, 2008
During the training days, staff will be involved in a variety of classes, games, and routines geared to prepare and equip them for this year's camp program. Throughout the training period, staff will engage in hiking, climbing, the high and low ropes course, fire-building, and other related camp activities.

Staff Schedule Option
The staffs' summer is divided into two, four week, periods. The first four weeks are survival camps, located at The Wilderness camp facilities (June 7 - July 5). The last four weeks the staff will be involved in traditional weeks of camp at two rental facilities and The Appalachian Trail Backpacking Trip (July 8 -August 23). Volunteer staff can choose to be involved in the first period or both periods. Staff wishing to be involved in the second period, MUST be involved in the first period. Staff volunteering for the entire summer must commit to June 7 - August 23. Short term volunteer opportunities are also available on a limited bases. Note: Some flexibility with the above schedule may be possible - call for information.

Expenses and Financial Information
Lodging and camp meals are provided all summer. Volunteer staff are encouraged to enlist one sponsor for each week they volunteer. The sponsor's role is to pray for that staff member throughout the week and to also financially support the staff member in the amount of $50.00. This one-time amount is to be given directly to the staff member to cover his or her personal expenses during the weekend (laundry, food, fuel, personal items, etc.).
