09 Summer Staff
Dear Prospective Summer Team Member,
Thank you for your interest in serving at
Lakeside Christian Camp for Summer 2010. Working at camp is a great
responsibility and one we take very seriously. We are given a wonderful
opportunity for a very special ministry that changes lives forever.
Serving at Lakeside
is a rewarding job both spiritually and emotionally. It is one that allows
you to grow in your own faith while sharing and nurturing the lives of
those around you. It is a very demanding job and requires flexibility and
commitment to the positions described. Lakeside is much more than just a
recreational experience. Staff members share a great responsibility for
the well being of each child in our care. We also strive to reach each
camper on an individual basis. The campers are first and foremost in all
things we do and in the manner of community in which we live, share and
work together.
I hope you have given much thought and
prayer concerning your decision to apply to Lakeside
for a summer team position. Leadership Team Training begins June 17th,
Team Week (training) begins the afternoon of June 20th, and
summer camp begins June 27th and ends August 14th.
We are ideally looking for a team that can work the entire 8 week
commitment, although arrangements can be made for special circumstances.
Also, this year we can arrange and work with your college to provide
Internships for class credit. Ask me about this option!
As a member of our summer ministry team,
we have high expectations. One expectation is to help with the financial
support of the camp ministry. We expect each of our summer ministry team
members to raise at least $700 in support from their church, family, and
friends. Our year round staff will help in this fundraising effort as much
as possible, but the responsibility to meet this goal belongs to the
summer team member. Donations received fund our summer team salaries in
support of the ministry.
As our summer program continues to grow,
some changes to staffing and hiring for 2010 have been made. Please use
the following checklist as a guide to the application process:
□ Read the job descriptions and team
policy manual. If you can respect and accomplish both, download an
application.
□ If you have never been on staff before,
were an LTD in 2009, or have been on staff in the past but not in 2009,
please fill out the New Staff Application. This includes written
references, background checks, and a personal interview to be scheduled.
This will allow me to get to know you the best and discern your place in
our ministry.
□ If you were on staff summer 2009,
including KCrew and Maintenance, please fill out the Returning Staff
Application. This includes background checks and is required by law.
□ All applications are due to the office
by February 1, 2010.
We are very excited about the upcoming
summer and trust that God has amazing things in store for you and Lakeside
Christian Camp. Please feel free to call me with any questions or
concerns. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Joyfully serving,
Trish Farrell, Director of Programming
