I'm not a Certified Lifeguard - How do I get Certified?

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED WHEN YOU APPLY FOR THIS POSITION. We provide lifeguard training/certification onsite prior to camp beginning.

What dates do High Hill summer employees work?

For 2026, our summer staff will come in on June1st or 8th to begin training. Summer camp officially begins on June 10th. Our last session of camp is over on July 31st. There are some opportunities to work an extra week or two at the end of the summer based on our rental groups. Most staff will have June 28-July 11 off.

Do we get any time off?

If you need a day off during the summer for some reason, these are dealt with on a case by case basis through the director. All staff will have June 28-July 11 off.

How much do you pay?

Our current summer staff pay begins at $350-$400/week.* You get paid additionally for any weekends worked. This might not sound like a lot, but remember that all your meals during camp are provided, and you don’t have to pay for gas to drive to and from work.

*for staff over 18; under 18 will begin at $300/week.

What kind of things will be expected of me?

First, and most importantly, you will be expected to have a strong relationship with Christ that is evident through your daily behavior. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve (Phil. 2:5; Mt. 20:28). We will expect you to maintain an atmosphere of teamwork and encouragement not only with your fellow employees but also those attending camp as campers and faculty.

Your day to day duties will vary based on which position you are hired for. Click on any available job below to view the scope of responsibility and position summary.

Will I be able to spend time with campers?

This is really something that depends on you and how you work. When your duties are done you are free to spend time with campers. In the evenings, our staff is required to be at worship sessions. You won’t typically have time to be involved with family groups or teach classes unless you are hired as a cabin counselor.

How old do I need to be to apply?

We prefer college and high school students (ages 16+ as of 6/01/2026). Ages 14-15 are welcome to apply and will be considered if positions aren’t filled.

You must be 15+ to apply for lifeguard positions and either completed one year of college OR age 19+ to apply for cabin counselor positions.

This is a BRAND NEW position for our camp, so things will be flexible as we all learn what this position entails. Our cabin counselors will be responsible for one cabin group each session of camp made up of our non-member church campers—those who are attending without an adult faculty member. Much like a full-time summer camp team member, you’ll live, eat, play, and grow with your cabin group each session and model a mature Christian life to them. There are a few sessions where you will not be needed in the cabins (like our camper/parent sessions). During these weekends, you will spend time helping out in other areas.

**APPLICANTS FOR THIS POSITION MUST HAVE COMPLETED ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE OR BE 19+ YEARS OLD**
