by yourselves to a quiet place
and get some rest.”

Conduct

The Lordship of Jesus Christ should be the norm in your life. A servant’s heart and putting the interests of others ahead of your own is vital. All staff are expected of follow regulations in regard to curfew, automobiles, neatness of dress, neatness of rooms, relationships, and all other regulations.

Summer Staff Opportunities
    ...more than just a job
Spend the summer making an impact on the lives of others as you serve them in a Christian environment. You will work together with other young Christians in challenging situations. Cedar Lake Bible Conference Center is looking for a few good young people who are willing to work hard, long hours. We are looking for people who want to be challenged and want to grow in their relationship to Christ, doing a variety of things. Our summer staffers serve as counselors, maintenance workers, housekeeping assistants, nursery workers, audio technicians, lifeguards, boat drivers, arts and crafts teachers, initiative game facilitators, and even more. We will train you for some of these jobs and take advantage of some of the skills you bring with you. Along with the above areas for service, you will also get an opportunity to serve as counselor during the weeks of camp! The opportunity to make an impact on the lives of kids that lasts a lifetime.
Some of them will leave believing that you are the "greatest counselor on the face of the earth!"
STAFF REQUIREMENTS:
Your job this summer…

Summer begins with staff orientation. You will be trained and begin to build a team with the other summer staffers. During this time you learn many things that will help you to have a successful summer.

Summer 2008 will be made up of conferences, retreats, and youth camps. Your responsibilities will change as the dynamics of the groups we serve change. During the youth camps you will spend most of your time as a counselor with the kids. Because of this responsibility, every summer staffer will have a background check completed before counseling duties can be assigned.

We hire staff for the entire summer. Staff Orientation begins on June 10, 2008 and the last camp is over on August 1, 2008. You will be expected to be available at the camp for the entire period of that contract. Any exceptions must be prearranged with the Executive Director before summer begins.

 Staff training will be a time of spiritual preparation, fun, fellowship, and training to prepare you for the rigors of a long summer working at camp. It will be a time of reinforcement and encouragement that will give you the tools you need to serve our campers and guests. You will make some lifelong friends and learn some lifelong skills.

Our staff training this year will include times of worship and praise together, times of personal reflection and meditation, training for facilitating initiative games, training for handling emergencies, orientation to the facilities, and loads of fun together with the other summer staff and full-time staff. The Executive Director and other full-time staff will be leading your training.

Basic requirements…
Following are some of the basic assumptions toward summer staff:

  • Exhibit standards of appearance and behavior that show a Christian attitude.
