*Some positions will require an earlier start date.
You will work very hard if selected to be a part of the Camp Lutherhoma staff team. Staff work from early in the morning to late in the evening, with little personal time. Counselors spend nearly every hour of the day with their campers, while Support Staff have grueling and unglamorous duties to fulfill each day.
All that being said, this is the hardest job you’ll ever love. You’ll get paid to do things like swim, mountain bike, dance around the campfire, roast s’mores, and talk to kids about Jesus. You’ll wake up every morning knowing you get a chance to make a difference and experience the rhythms of a life centered around faith and fun. You’ll become a part of the rich and deep legacy at Camp Lutherhoma and gain a camp family that will last for the rest of your life. A summer at camp can change your life in a way that not many jobs can.
