2023 Summer Employment
Dates of Employment: May 29–August 12
Ewalu offers an incredible variety of 20+ exciting summer youth programs and a fantastic staff to support you through this amazing summer! Our staff “return rate” which reflects a healthy community and morale, is top notch. This is a place God will guide your own growth as a leader and your personal sense of calling. At Ewalu, our program ensures that as a camp counselor, you will get to enjoy different adventures each summer. This means you’re not limited to one program or age group for the season.
The first two weeks (May 29–June 9) offer a fully paid training in youth ministry, outdoor adventure skills, leadership, Bible studies, team-building, and personal growth. Some additional days may be required for our leadership staff. Weekends are usually time off, during which you are welcome to stay at camp or return home. After two weeks of paid training and then three weeks of summer camp, staff members at Ewalu are given a “break week” in the middle of the summer, which begins Saturday, July 1; returning for Staff Renewal training on Friday evening, July 7. The remaining five weeks make up the summer camp season.
Contact Ewalu soon about being part of God’s awesome work in the world through camp – by serving in a positive, transformational role in people’s lives!
