About Summer Employment
We are so pleased that you’re interested in working at High Hill Christian Camp. Our summer employees are what make camp work. Here are a few frequently asked questions that you may have. Scroll down to see available jobs and their descriptions.
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 during our staff training week.
What dates do High Hill summer employees work?
For 2024, our summer staff will come in on June 3rd to begin a week of training. Summer camp officially begins on June 9th. Our last session of camp is over on August 4th. There are some opportunities to work an extra week or two at the end of the summer based on our rental groups.
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 30-July 6 off; some staff will have June 30-July 11 off.
How much do you pay?
Our current summer staff pay begins at $350/week* with a $25 pay raise every year you return (up to 4 years or as deemed by the director). 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 $250/week.
What kind of things will be expected of me?
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.
WE HIRE THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS EVERY SUMMER

**Our lifeguards will be trained onsite before camp starts—you do NOT have to be certified to apply** Enjoy time out in the sun and getting to know campers at our pool, blob, zipline, and waterslide.

Lifeguards will also help in other areas such as the kitchen/dining room and will help with daily cabin checks. Apply here.

A job with a little less stress—working in our kitchen as a helper and a dishwasher means that you get to have fun working at camp without having to shoulder a lot of the responsibilities of other positions.

This is a great position for anyone who is interested in pursuing camp or youth ministry. The programming internship will include office work, coordinating the canteen, overseeing inventory, helping out with photo/video promotion on various social media platforms, coordinating and executing all outdoor activities with our deans, and being involved with the day to day operations of camp management. The tech internship will include coordinating and running our Camp Ministry Center (AVL), working with our worship teams and deans to provide an exemplarily worship experience, and helping with camp promo materials (making videos).
**These positions REQUIRE previous experience. Preference will be given to those who have previously worked at a camp. Applicants’ merit must be substantiated.**
TOTAL OF 4 POSITIONS - 2 MALE/2 FEMALE
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. Apply here.**APPLICANTS FOR THIS POSITION MUST BE OVER 18 YEARS OLD**
