SUMMER JOBS
Who We Are:
Our primary focus is to provide camps serving children of abuse and neglect who are in the foster care system. We seek to share the love of Christ with kids who have not experienced love safely from those who are dearest to them. We are owned and operated by Our Father’s Children (OurFathersChildren.org) who uses the Royal Family Kids curriculum for our summer camps. Currently, our ministry does not fill up a full summer schedule. We host other church groups during our other camp weeks, in order to maximize the opportunity to serve and glorify Christ.
Who We Need:
We are looking for college students who have a firm grounding in their relationship with Christ. We need reliable, hardworking individuals with engaging personalities. We envision a staff that seeks to perpetuate smiles and a sense of belonging for all kids and adults that step foot on our property! We need personnel who can receive instruction and are willing to independently follow through. You will directly affect someone with each of your choices, so we are wanting to hire you if we can count on you to be positively contagious for Christ!
What You Can Do:
Kitchen Crew – Get ready to experience the joy of bringing people together around good food. You will prepare all meals for camp each day. You will cook, serve, and even help clean up daily after meals. This is a great opportunity to work alongside others (cooking some of the best food in the “biz”…seriously!) to serve a dining hall full of hungry campers.
Lifeguards – Do you want to help keep campers safe? Do you enjoy being outside soaking up the sunshine? Lifeguards will oversee safety at our pools and lakefront, and help out at night events. Other duties might include: nerf archery, playing with kids, helping in kitchen, and helping everywhere else. Lifeguards will receive Red Cross training and certification by Akiva.
Housekeeping – These “cleaning ninjas” work each day to ensure that cabins, chapel, and other areas of camp are a clean and welcoming place for campers. In addition, You will lead the rest of the staff in various cleaning tasks. If you are a leader, love to serve, and make a visible difference every day, this is a great job for you.
Maintenance Team/Grounds – Our maintenance team are the backbone of summer camp. They keep camp running smoothly and make things look great! If you are servant-hearted, like to work with your hands, and enjoy the experience of working on something a little different each day – join the maintenance team!
