Frontier Lodge is a great place to work. Not only will you gain valuable experience, make new friends and be part of an incredible staff team, but you will have a significant ministry as well. Please note that we are a Christian camp and that we expect every staff to fully identify with our mission "to use God's Wilderness to Reach, Teach and Train Youth and Adults for Jesus Christ". A living relationship with Jesus Christ, a love for God and our campers is therefore a prerequisite.
We are currently seeking candidates for the following positions:

Other Requirements:
- Current "Standard First Aid" and "CPR-C" training
- a minimum commitment of one year
At this point we are only able to pay a small salary. Room and board are provided. We ask full-time staff to raise additional support, and we will do what we can to help you with that.
