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.

Program staff will be involved in leading cabin groups and day programming, as well as rotations in the kitchen, maintenance, and/or the camp office for short periods of time. We need staff for both the spring and summer seasons. Generally the spring term is school groups and in the summer it is mainly our own camps and youth groups that are coming to Frontier Lodge. A mandatory staff training is provided. Spring Staff Training: April 23 - 27, 2012; Summer Staff Training: June 24 - 29, 2012.
Other Requirements:
