Staff

2025 Applications will open mid-January!
Apply to serve on staff (ages 18 or older) or as a Counselor-In-Training (completed grades 9-12 and under the age of 18).
EpiscoWisco staffing levels are based on needs of the camp program.

Program staff are committed to Christian formation and safety and many were once campers. They plan activities and supervise campers. From a high school youth counselor-in-training working with Junior campers, to an adult working with campers of all ages, each staff member brings their gift of experience to camp.

Exhibit a commitment to the Christian faith.
Be spiritually mature enough to take initiative in using resources available to grow and encourage others to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Possess integrity to faithfully fulfill the commitment of service in a positive manner.
Emotionally and spiritually mature enough to relate to and cooperate with others.
In good health and physically able to meet the demands of camp life.

Pray regularly for EpiscoWisco Camp, especially the campers, staff and facility.

Staff Training

There will be TWO opportunities for in-person staff trainings and TWO opportunities for virtual staff trainings for those who are unable to attend in-person due to extenuating circumstances (e.g. out-of-state, family emergency, significant illness or injury). Any staff or CITs must contact the Camp Director immediately if they are unable to attend training in-person.

Counselors-In Training (CITs)

The Counselors-In-Training (CIT) program provides an opportunity for young adults to build valuable skills working with youth in the church. The CIT program will help build leadership and organizational skills. There is hands-on-experience working with children in a summer camp setting while under the mentorship and supervision of experienced camp staff.

When accepted, the CIT will receive necessary information to join the CIT program. CITs who are minors must also submit the Parent/Legal Guardian Authorization Form.

By taking on the responsibility of becoming a CIT, you are no longer just “coming to camp” you will be here to serve the needs of the campers. We view your commitment as a voluntary job and try to include many aspects of any “typical” job. You will have supervisors, duties and the opportunity to show that you have the responsibility to perform the task at hand. You will be working with campers and making sure that they are taking care of their personal hygiene, assisting them at meals, planning group activities and helping with the maintenance of your living area.
