What are the qualifications to be on Walcamp Summer Staff?
Our summer staffers are Christian role models who exemplify being Christ-centered, servant-hearted, passionate, adaptable, and enthusiastic. All applicants must be 18 years or older. It is preferred for applicants to be at least one year out of high school, but newly graduated seniors are still encouraged to apply.
When does summer start?
Walcamp summer staff will need to report to camp on May 21, 2023. This will begin a two week training period. Summer camp programming begins on June 5, 2023 with our Day Camp Program.
When does summer end?
The final day with campers is August 3, 2023. However, that following weekend will be used to prepare Walcamp for the retreat season and to process the summer together as a community. Summer Staff is free to leave August 6, 2023.
What if my family already has a vacation scheduled?
Indicate the dates you are hoping to be off on your Summer Service Profile and share about it in the interview. Our leadership team will make time off decisions based upon our programmatic needs. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule, but cannot guarantee time off in the summer.
Why am I applying through NLOMA?
Walcamp participates in joint recruitment through the National Lutheran Outdoors Ministry Association. This allows us to share resources with camps across the country and provide the best opportunities to our candidates. The entire process is covered in prayer from people at all of these camps, who desire to place the candidates' needs and best interests above their own. If you would like to be specifically considered by Walcamp for Summer 2023, mark us as your “first choice” camp on the Summer Service Profile.
