If you are looking opportunity to stretch your faith working at Camp
Agape may help you do that. One of the primary ways God helps us grow is
through personal ministry – serving others.
Our staff
is carefully selected each year to form a team that will keep children
safe, work well together, and share the gift of God’s love with one
another and our campers. We have four primary areas that are staffed
during a camp season: Junior Counselors, Counselors, Leadership Team,
and Administration.
Junior Counselor
Junior Counselors
are the workhorses of Camp Agape. They are responsible for setup, clean
up, being an extra set of eyes for our counselors, and learning to
become counselors. Almost everyone starts at this unpaid position.
Counselors
Counselors
are the primary caretakers for our campers. Each day they will be
responsible for a group of campers and possibly a junior counselor and
will share a devotion on most days. Other duties include working
stations, watching over a particular activity, or helping to clean up.
Leadership
Team
Our leadership team consists of staff that is responsible
for a particular segment of the camp. This may include a training
director, assistant camp director, and coordinators for our junior high
and elementary camps.
Administration Team
Our
administration team consists of our registrar, bookkeeper, human
resources and other administration positions that may be needed.
