Play on purpose, grow in service, lead with love.
Camp Lookout is a place set apart to build up individuals, our community, and the world around us. Since 1959, staff have been shaping lives by creating a place where campers belong, discover who they are, and grow in faith and character – all while having the best week of their summer. Working on summer staff can be exhausting and challenging, but it is also immensely rewarding. Summer staff work hard, laugh often, sweat plenty, and serve joyfully. For nine weeks each summer, they lead with compassion, model resilience, and create experiences that campers will carry with them for a lifetime.
We’re looking for servant leaders who embrace teamwork, and are ready to love and accept children and youth just as they are. We value creativity, responsibility, and a commitment to safety, fun, and building faith. At Camp Lookout, you’ll have the chance to lead exciting adventures, be part of an intentional community, and share God’s love in meaningful and lasting ways.
If you are interested in doing meaningful work that will have a lasting impact (on you as well as those you serve), then the Camp Lookout summer team might be the right fit for you. Come join us for a summer you won't forget!
