I Have Some More Questions…
What does a day at camp look like?
There are core activities most campers will participate in that include swimming, archery, arts & crafts, and canoeing. Counselors and cabin groups also have the opportunity to select other program options to fill out their daily schedules. These optional activities may include pontoon rides, kayaking, small group games, soccer, sand volleyball, and nature activities. For more explanation on different parts of the schedule check out the detailed schedule.
How much do I get paid?
A camp counselor does get paid. The compensation package for a summer of service includes two weeks of paid training, 1st Aid, CPR & lifeguard certification, room and board while on and off duty and a weekly salary. These compensation packages range in value from $525-$600 a week depending upon position and experience.

How long do I have to work there?

Share the Life-Saving Gospel
“Working at camp has helped me to become a better leader and Christian. I’m more open to asking questions, diving deeper into my faith, and sharing the word of the Lord with those around me. Camp has provided me with life-long Christian role models and friends. From being a shy camper looking up to my guides, to having worked at camp for three summers, working at camp has allowed me to give back to a community that has given so much to me”. — Paige Wormer
A Summer in a Christ Centered Community
“Working at camp completely changed the way that I saw, understood, & interacted with God. I finally knew what it meant to have a personal relationship with our Almighty Creator and I got to explore that awesome reality alongside my best friends while living in His creation and sharing it with some of the coolest kids I’ve ever met. My summers at camp are some of my favorite memories and I thank God daily for bringing me home to camp.” — Nina Alley, Camp Omega Summer Staff
Develop Lifelong Skills
“Once upon a time I was timid, nervous around children, and unsure whenever I had the opportunity to share my faith. I’m not even 100% sure why I applied that first summer, but being immersed in such a loving, faith-filled community drew me in quickly. Now I am quite the outgoing individual, teaching middle school art, and more involved in my church, community, and Omega (#artcamp) than I even envisioned myself 10 years ago.” — A2, Camp Omega Summer Staff
