Summer Camp Recruitment
Here at Dawson Recreation, we have two weeks during the summer in which campers go out to Camp Dawson for some adventure, fun, and encouragement in Christ. For these two weeks, we are looking to hire camp counselors, Lifeguards, Craft Workers, etc. We hire high school (completed 9th grade) and college students to work and serve as Day Camp counselors for either one or two weeks during Summer 2023.
Day Camp Week 1: June 12–15 (4 Day Camp)
Day Camp Week 2: June 26–30 (5 Day Camp)
Training Date: Sunday, May 21, 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm ***There will be additional dates as we get closer to camp, depending on where you are placed as a counselor.***
Positions looking to fill:
- Lifeguards
- Craft Workers
- Day Camp Counselors
If you are someone who loves to have fun, work hard, and share Jesus with kids (1st–5th grade), then we would love to talk with you. As a Day Camp Counselor, you will have the unique opportunity to get to know and invest deeply in the lives of about 10 campers throughout the week. You will be with them every moment of the day, getting to have fun at various activities, and the joy of leading them to discuss Christ and who He is to them.
