Summer Camp Area Lead

Spend an unforgettable summer serving with Lutherhaven Ministries in beautiful North Idaho! Camp counselors, lifeguards, cooks, kitchen assistants, wranglers… there are all sorts of jobs open at summer camp!

Summer jobs are available at Camp Lutherhaven on Lake Coeur d’Alene and at Shoshone Mountain Retreat & Ranch in the Bitterroot Mountains. Camp staff positions are tremendously rewarding, incredibly challenging, and almost always life-changing.

Most of all, kids today need you! We look forward to serving alongside you!

Area Leads

We are looking for 6 experienced camp leaders to work with our Full-Time Staff as Area Leads overseeing a specific area of camp, the daily tasks within that area, and the staff working in that area. The six areas are Kitchen, Hospitality, Media and Retail, Waterfront, Recreation, and Challenge Course. As the Area Lead (for example: Waterfront Area Lead or Recreation Area Lead) you are responsible for supervising, mentoring, and supporting the Camp Staff serving in your area. It is your responsibility to ensure the things that need to be done in your area on a given day are being completed and the functioning of your area continuously improves. 

Area Leads will serve in their area at least one shift per day (there is an AM and PM shift for each area each day). Area Leads may end up serving in their area all day if necessary, Area Leads may be able to swap with other Area Leads to serve shifts in other areas. Applicants will give their area preferences in their interview but ultimately the ministry’s needs will determine which roles are offered.

Looking for applicants who…

• Have a loving, growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Have a willingness to work hard, be flexible, and serve in a variety of ways.
• Are high school graduates, must be 18 years or older by the first day of staff training for positions that require onsite community living (counselor, area leads, leadership team, etc.)

Base Pay

Approximately $375 per week, plus meals and housing (valued at $275 per week) depending on positions and experience. That’s between $3900 and $4100 for a full summer, plus $2750 in housing and meals!
