Counselor Application
If you have completed one year in college and are interested in a summer loving on kids the way Christ loves us, please take time to pray about filling out an application. Working at a Christian summer camp is not just about the fun (although there is plenty of that) it is about being a part of something bigger than ourselves. It is about loving on campers until they ask why and being able to share the gospel with them in those moments. If this sounds like something the Lord is guiding your heart to do, please take time to fill out the online application and submit it. We look forward to getting in touch with you personally once we receive your application.

Deer Creek Camp's Statement of Faith is that God eternally exists in three persons: Father Son and the Holy Spirit. All Scripture is the inspired Word of God. Because of man's sins God sent His Son Jesus as the Christ who died on a cross and bodily resurrected from the dead providing a basis for salvation. His atonement is sufficient for all who believe. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus who is proceeded by the Holy Spirit and His work of conviction regeneration and sanctification who in dwells every believer.Your mission is to live (first) and teach (second) the best Christian example that you are capable of being. You are your camper's new coach parent and friend. You will be one of the most important influences in his/her life. Deer Creek Camp is a place where lives are changed by learning what is important.We strive to live the "I'm Third" life. Your objective is to be a positive Christian role model and mentor, supervise, and teach young people in various outdoor activities while living with and caring for them. As a staff member you stand firm on God's Word and are willing to live your life as an example of HIS WORD toall. Deer Creek Adventure Camp is a program of Deer Creek Family Camp Inc. and such the staff conveys a clean-cut image and wears a modest uniform appropriate for the ministry of the day. Excessive jewelry/earrings on guys and body piercing would not be appropriate. Our staff does not condone or use tobacco or under-age use of alcohol either on or off duty. Deer Creek Camp teaches that premarital sex, homosexuality , and abortion do not line up with Biblical principles. Beyond the summer we ask you to commit to stay in touch with your "camp family" of campers by contacting each of them at least THREE TIMES during the following nine months after summer camp.
I hereby give my permission to conduct a personal/criminal background check to verify my ability to serve as a Deer Creek Camp Counselor.
