Summer Staff
We are looking for quality individuals who want to make a difference in young people's lives. We are glad you have expressed an interest in working at Camp Victory this summer. A Christian summer camping experience can be one of the most meaningful events in your life and the life of a camper.
This site is designed to answer questions you may have about working at Camp Victory. The application process is not difficult, but there are several steps that must be completed in order for us to make a final decision regarding your employment.
Most applicants have some reservations about their camp skills. Skills are important, but not the most important. Our staff training program will help polish your skills and prepare you for the summer.
It is very important to recognize that summer camp should not be viewed as a summer vacation. Camp work is challenging, all encompassing, fun and extremely rewarding. It is also hard work. Nothing worth value is ever easy. You will make new friendships and giant leaps of personal growth in your walk with Jesus Christ. This job will encourage you to give of yourself to others.
Activity Specialists positions, such as BB Range Instructor, Archery, Ropes and Lifeguard, require specialized training or experience. Anyone may apply. Training is available through Camp Victory.
Overnight camp counselors may also serve as activity instructors for certain activities. Training is available on location.
The desire to serve Christ by revealing His love through your life is of the utmost importance. The trust that is developed between a counselor and a camper opens many doors for ministering Jesus' love and practicing fruits of the Spirit daily.
