We are glad
that you are interested in using the gifts and skills that God has given to you
to be a part of DCC’s summer camp program. It is exciting that there are young people who are searching
for more than what a normal summer job can provide. If during your time of praying, listening and studying you
sense God is leading you to DCC this summer, please fill out the application and
send it in. Once we have your
application we will contact your references, contact you for a telephone
interview, and pray through the process to determine if you belong on the DCC
team this summer.
We have two
basic goals for the staff and campers in our summer camp program. These are to:
Develop
our relationship with Christ through fellowship, worship, prayer and Bible study
Discover
God’s goodness
through Christ-centered community, exploration of His creation, fun activities,
good food, and friendships
We have a
great time with our campers in a pristine coastal rainforest setting. Some of Drift Creek Camp’s (DCC)
specialties are polar bearing in the creek, old growth forest hikes, tubing
around “The Loop”, morning chapel in the amphitheatre under towering hemlock
and fir trees, and great group games like capture the flag. Our camps tend to be small to medium in
size (40 to 90 campers per week), and we cherish the many great friendships
that are formed among our campers, staff and volunteers. Summer staff positions include:
Counselor in Training Program (age 13-17 one to two week teen volunteer positions); job description, application
Priority
will be given to persons who are able to serve the entire summer. If you would
like to extend your work experience, DCC has partnered with our sister
Mennonite Camp in Leavenworth, Washington. An additional two weeks of
counseling is available through Camp Camrec and transportation is provided. We will forward your application to
Camrec if you indicate that you're able to extend your service. For
more information, please visit their website.
Surf Camp
Surf camp happens after our last week of “regular”
camp and is not considered to be part of full summer
employment. We will only need a small number of
counselors for this camp. If you are interested in
staying on for surf camp please indicate that.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate
everyone who wants to do surf camp. Priority will be
given to senior staff and those with lifeguard certification
and previous surfing experience.
