Consider a life-changing summer at Camp Westminster!


Sure, there are lots of jobs out there you could do...flip burgers, wash cars, serve coffee, mow lawns. But don't you want a job you can put on your resume that will build character, affect hundreds of young lives, give you life skills, impact your career decisions, and provide you with friends from all over the world that you'll keep in touch with for years to come? Tell me more.


The terrific staff members at Camp Westminster are one of the big reasons so many campers love to return year after year!  Camp Westminster intentionally seeks a diverse range of summer staff from local churches, area colleges, camp alumni, and from around the world. Through an intensive staff training, this group of individuals bonds and grows together to form a warm and welcoming community to any camper who comes to CW. We look for: enthusiasm; a strong work ethic; people who take initiative; individuals who LOVE children and youth so much that they are led to invest in a summer of ministry; and someone who desires to know God better and grow in their faith.
