Working at summer camp is exhausting. It’s messy. It’s challenging. And it’s also one of the most rewarding things you can do with your summer.
Camp Bear Creek is a Christian summer camp in Eastern Iowa serving kids from kindergarten through 12th grade. We’re looking for passionate, fun, dedicated people who want to spend a summer making a real difference — in the lives of campers and in their own.
What We’re Looking For:
We want people who:
- Love working with kids
- Can serve as strong, positive role models
- Are ready to lead and grow as leaders
- Are excited to help young people conquer their fears and goals
- Don’t mind unplugging and spending a summer in the woods
We hire three High Ropes Specialists every summer who are responsible for ensuring the safe and fun operation of our high ropes course and racing zip lines. Guide groups to challenge themselves and face their fears, all while knowing they are safe to take the leap or reach for that next rock. Our High Ropes Specialists will also assist with other specialized activities at camp such as archery, water activities, rocket launching, team building, and more. At Camp Bear Creek, you’ll gain real world experience in:
- Leadership and public speaking
- Team building and facilitation
- Conflict resolution and creative problem-solving
- Teamwork across diverse backgrounds.
These soft skills are essential in every career field. You’ll also lead a variety of camp activities and work with different age groups- giving you the opportunity to grow into a well-rounded leader.
You’ll be part of an incredible team of about 30 college-aged staff from across Iowa, the U.S., and even around the world. We work hard. We play hard. We show up for each other every day. You’ll be surrounded by people who push you to grow — and who feel like family by the end of week one.
This is more than a job. It’s a ministry, a leadership opportunity, and a summer you’ll never forget. You’ll give this job everything you’ve got — and it will give even more back.
So, if you’re looking for a summer full of purpose, adventure, community, and growth, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. For more information about working at Camp Bear Creek or to apply, visit https://bearcreek.camp/current-job-openings/summer-camp/
