At camp for every season
Is Camp Really For Me?
We hear it all the time that some people just don't think they're "camp people." The truth is there's no fixed mould for amazing camp staff – but they do need to love God and love people. We are looking for people with diverse interests and personalities. Sure, we play a lot of outdoor games and do awesome activities like horseback riding, ziplining and wall climbing, but that’s only one side of what we do. We’ve got campers that love to draw, create, read books, or just hang out. We need staff that can make connections with our campers by sharing in their interests, whether that is sitting by the creek and having solid conversations, or going wild in an epic paintball match. Most of all, we’re looking for people dedicated to serving God and sharing His Gospel with our campers so that together we can see individual lives transformed by the power of Jesus.

Staff ApplicationSpring & Summer Job Descriptions
Camp Evergreen is a place to connect, explore, and grow. We exist to see lives transformed by the power of Jesus. The primary role of the staff during Spring and Summer is to help our campers and guests experience community, grow personally and spiritually in their faith, and explore creation. We actively invest in the well-being of our staff, campers, and guests to see them grow personally and spiritually through their experiences at Camp Evergreen.
We have three different categories of staffing. These categories vary in their day-to-day duties and responsibilities. It is important to understand that all staff are expected to help where needed, no job description is exhaustive.
MINISTRY POSITIONS: These positions primarily are focused on leading campers in our Base Camp, Out-trip, and Developing Leader programs. They are expected to be ready to share the Gospel and have a solid understanding of Christian theology. Out of love and respect for all our staff, we would never want to place a staff member in a position where they are expected to say or teach something they may not believe or support. As a Christ-centred camp, we require all positions listed as a “ministry position” be filled by a staff person who is in general agreement with our Statement of Faith.
ACTIVITY AND MEDIA POSITIONS: These positions primarily focus on leading activities and creating video/photography content for Camp Evergreen. Activity Leaders, including Equine (Barn) Staff, are expected to invest in our guest and camper’s experience with the goal of having their time at camp be like no other. Activity Leaders are expected to show warmth and care that is consistent with the love that Christ has modelled for us. Activity and Media positions are not required to be in agreement with our Statement of Faith.
FOOD SERVICE AND FACILITY POSITIONS: These positions primarily focus on the grounds, maintenance, and food service areas of camp. Each position, though not considered a frontline position, are expected to place guests before tasks, being welcoming and hospitable to all who come to our site. These positions should be filled by people who are passionate about working with their hands and serving others through their gifts, as Christ showed us in how He lived. Food Service and Facility Positions are not required to be in agreement with our Statement of Faith.
The primary role of all staff at Camp Evergreen is to share the Gospel with our campers in a fun, safe atmosphere. We love our staff and want to see them grow in their faith and in their leadership skills.
We have both paid and volunteer positions. Both paid and volunteer staff have the opportunity to raise support through our On-Mission Program. Please contact us for information on our On-Mission Program.
