Summer Camp Hiring

Our Mission

 “Love God and Neighbor, Build Community → No limits”. The vision of summer camp is that every child would have a safe and nurturing space, that families are rooted in a church community and that our staff grows in the likeness of Christ. We are dedicated to following Christ’s example of ministry through faithful discipleship, Christian fellowship, and spiritual worship. If you would like to apply here, it is important for you to know that this program is a ministry of Mandarin/Longleaf United Methodist Church and is not just a job. Please pray carefully and take very seriously your decision to apply to Mandarin/Longleaf Summer Day Camp.

Program Information

The children and youth you will lead through summer camp, range from kindergarten through seventh grade. The children are divided into age levels and led to various camp activities by their Crew Leader. Most of the activities are led by Station leaders and crew leaders are often the second adult to assist with activities. Three stations: Peace room, Playroom and Game room, are led by crew leaders through planned activities for each group.

We are hiring for the following positions:

  • Station Leaders: Outdoor/Indoor Games, Arts & Crafts, Bible, Character Counts and Expressions.

Station Leaders will prepare & implement lesson plans for each age group. Weekly themes will be in place to help with that preparation. Station leaders will receive additional resources to supplement activities.

  • Crew Leaders: Lead students from grades K-7th to activities throughout the day.

Crew leaders will lead their groups to various stations and support station leaders as needed. In areas without a station leader, crew leaders will be responsible for implementing activities.

  •  
All staff members will help with additional areas of coverage throughout the day.
 
Additional areas of coverage include Weekly Assemblies, Praise & Worship, Tech/Audio/Video, Lunch and Snack times and daily arrival and pick up times.
