A Summer at The Woods
2010 Summer Staff
Our six-week employment period (including one week of training) will give you an opportunity to minister to children and youth while living in the beautiful California Coastal Redwoods. With a focus on relational and outdoor ministry, Westminster Woods Summer Camp will give you experience working in small and large group settings with youth ages 7-18. Our summer staff consists of 60 college students living and working together for the purpose of Westminster Woods.
The purpose of Westminster Woods' Summer Program is:
"To guide persons to Jesus Christ so that through him they may come to a true knowledge of God, to a living faith, and through the power of the Holy Spirit live as Christ's disciples through the fellowship of the church."
Our summer program is built around the idea that through building relationships with peers, responsible adults, youth groups, and our churches, we grow deeper in our understanding of and relationship with Jesus Christ. The strength of our program lies in the staff we hire and their willingness to show God’s love through their words and actions.
Camping Ministry calls for a wide range of backgrounds, skills, and interests. Most are hired to be counselors. This is your primary position, to build relationships with kids and be faithful, positive mentors to them. Most will also rotate into support positions. These include:
- Archery
- Crafts
- First Aid
- Kitchen
- Lifeguard
- Challenge Course
