Every summer Northland Camp hires about 140 staff members, from many different universities and colleges and all across the globe, to come serve with us for 10 weeks. This opportunity inevitably benefits both the staff member and our camp ministry: each staff member is personally discipled by a member of our Leadership Team, and we could not possibly serve all of our campers without the help of our counseling crew and operational team. If you are interested in serving as a counselor, waitress, kitchen worker, custodian, lifeguard, retail associate, technology worker, nurse, or in another area, please follow the links below to apply online.

Why should I work at Northland Camp?
1. Genuine discipleship is taught, modeled, and integrated into every staff member's life during a summer at Northland Camp. The philosophy of life-touching-life ministry is evident in our Camp Administration, and this model of discipleship makes a lasting impact every year on our summer staff.
2. Every day at Northland Camp, each member of our staff has multiple opportunities to minister to campers and fellow staff members. The philosophy and experience gained during a summer here greatly contribute to future ministry.
3. Northland Camp staff are able to develop life-changing relationships during the summer that serve as a source of accountability and encouragement for many years. The experience of camp reveals one's true self, and this honesty leads to genuine change in many lives throughout the course of a summer.
4. God will do a life-changing work in your heart throughout the summer. Some of our summer '11 staff members share their testimonies here.

Staff Projects
Our spiritual theme for Summer 2012 is "Running the Race" from Hebrews 12:1-17. In preparation for summer, every staff member will memorize this entire passage, listen to sermons pertaining to this portion of Scripture, complete a study guide, and intently study this passage before arriving at camp. In addition, every first-time staffer will complete the requirements outlined in the "Principles and Standards" project . We will collect the study guides from each staff member and the "Principles and Standards" projects from the new staff members during Staff Training. The preparation work of our summer staffers is crucial for Staff Training week, POWER Groups, and staff unity.
Further details and specific instructions will be posted here in the spring.
