Looking For A Fun Way To Serve This Summer?
We would love to invite you to apply to join us this summer on our Summer Staff Team! This year we are looking to hire a team who is excited to partner with us in providing incredible programming for our Family Campers, Kids’ Campers, and Day Campers. Staff Team Applicants will need to submit an application with references and complete an interview.
DISCIPLESHIP
As the title of this program indicates, we place a strong emphasis on discipleship & mentorship. Each student will be mentored in a small group setting by one of our Mentorship leaders. They will also attend two weekly discipleship classes.
WORK

Students will be placed on a specific team (Day Camp, Waterfront, Kitchen, etc.) and will support their team leader through their work. They will have scheduled shifts and are expected to be on time, work hard and take initiative. Students will be given 2 hours off a day for rest and personal time with the Lord.
COMMUNITY
Mentorship students are strongly encouraged to live onsite at Green Bay for their term as they learn what it means to live in community together, the necessity of developing spiritual friendships, practicing biblical ways of resolving conflict, and celebrating each other in the process!
SERVANTHOOD
Finding a way to serve is a core value of Green Bay and Mentorship students are expected to practice this value. Going the extra mile in serving campers and co-workers wholeheartedly and respect for leadership is essential.
