Camp Counselor

Camp Onomia is looking for energetic individuals to join our community as a Camp Counselor for the summer season. Since 1949, Camp Onomia has been a place set apart of Christian nurture, where all people are encouraged to encounter Christ through Creation and Community. During the summer Camp Onomia runs week long overnight camp, sends staff to our churches to run day camps (Vacation Bible School), and hosts family camps and other group retreats on site.This position will work primarily with youth and families through the summer season as you gain valuable life skills such as leadership, confidence, and interpersonal skills! With our anticipated summer schedule, it is estimated that a camp counselor will spend 40% of their time as a traditional overnight camp counselor, 30% of their time as a day camp counselor, and the remaining 30% hosting family camp and other rental groups. This breakdown may change based on the actual summer schedule and when considering talents and preferences. Youll be a positive role model and mentor for campers as you guide them through various scheduled camp activities, and along the way you might discover things about yourself and grow! Think that this sounds like something youd like to be a part of? We hope that you will prayerfully consider serving at Camp Onomia.Starting salary is $400/week, plus room and board. Those with valid lifeguard certification earn an additional $20/ week. Our staff season runs from June 2nd- August 10th.Camp Onomia is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and follows the teachings of the ELCA, but we do not require staff members to be members of ELCA. Our campers come from a variety of denominations, faith traditions, different levels of experience engaging in faith, and experience in churches. Because of that, we are excited to welcome staff from other denominations and faith experiences! We need staff who are able to relate to our campers, and walk with them as they explore their faith at Camp Onomia!
