Staff Opportunities
Kawkawa Summer Camps are dedicated, “To bring people to know God, demonstrate His love and communicate Christ to others”. This takes place in an atmosphere of acceptance, love and safety, with well-trained staff building relationships and guiding the campers in the summer of their lives.
To accomplish this we are looking for staff that are committed to Christ, love children and youth, have a strong desire to share their faith and want to be part of an exciting team ministry. We seek to hire mature people who will place ministry responsibilities and opportunities with campers before their own desire for friendship and personal gain. We expect all our staff to take seriously God’s words in Mark 12:30-31 and live by them, in honesty, integrity and purity. If this is you why not seek God and see if He is calling you to our camp family this summer. It will be the summer of your life!
Kawkawa Camp and Retreat is owned and operated by the Kawkawa Camp and Retreat Society and is located on the shores of Kawkawa Lake just east of Hope, B.C. It is surrounded by mountains, rivers and valleys and is a magnificent setting and a great location for campers to have the time of their lives.
