SUMMER STAFF POSITIONS

All staff must complete a summer staff application packet, and be a minimum of 14 years of age, unless otherwise noted. All staff are expected to have a cheerful disposition, a heart for service and a flexible attitude. Being a team player is also vital to the growth and development of the summer staff. Hiring preference is given to those who can work until Labor Day.

Dining Room
Dining room staff work and serve our conference guests during meal times (mostly buffet-style). Duties include setting up prior to meals, serving during the meal, and cleaning up/resetting after the meals. Staff may also be asked to assist with additional preparations for specialty meals (barbecues, etc.), or may be assigned to “special projects” by the dining room manager. Most dining room staff work 3 meals a day, 6 days a week, but may work 1-2 meals a day in combination with other areas of service (snack shop, etc.). Schedules will be assigned on a weekly basis. (12-13 positions, minimum age 14)

Children’s Ministry:
Children’s ministry workers should be at least 15 years of age, and should have a love for children and a desire to see them know and love God. The Children’s Ministry department serves our guests by providing a VBS-style program throughout the week that runs mornings and evenings during the adult conference meetings. Responsibilities include building props/theme decorations for the classrooms, participating in worship times with the children, assisting with crafts, games, Bible lessons and other activities under the supervision of the Children’s Ministry Director. (8-9 positions, minimum age 15)

Lifeguards:
Lifeguards are responsible for keeping our guests safe at the lakefront and the indoor pool. Additional duties include general pool maintenance, operation, and cleaning, participating in in-service training when scheduled, working in the snack shop or dining room as needed, and providing emergency care when needed. Applicants must be able to attend our training, or provide a valid certification in lifeguarding, CPR for the Professional Rescuer, and waterfront lifeguarding. Contracts are contingent upon the completion of the lifeguarding course. Minimum age 15 (Red Cross requirement); preference is given to those aged 16 or older.

AV Assistant:
The AV assistant is responsible for helping with the conference sound and video. This includes setting up equipment in meeting rooms, as well as being present at the morning and evening conference meetings to help with running video and sound. Although training is provided, any technical background is a plus. Applicant should be familiar with Apple computers. (1 position)
