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 Canadian Pacific District of the Christian & Missionary Alliance and 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.
Group Leaders
Our Group Leader Team (GLT) is open to high school graduates. GLTs will spend several weeks counseling in a cabin group and some weeks teaching an activity.
Note: Applications for the above positions can only be accepted from people legally eligible to work in Canada.
Volunteer Positions
Many volunteer positions are available and can vary in length from the whole summer to one week. We need people in the areas of; maintenance, kitchen help, First Aid or RN’s, housekeeping/laundry, group leaders, Bible study leaders and lifeguards.
LIT (Leaders In Training)
This exciting and challenging program is for youth going into grade 11 or 12 and runs for the entire summer. The minimum requirement is three weeks but preference will be given to those who wish to stay the full summer. LITs will be mentored and trained in servant leadership as they teach activities and are involved with campers throughout the day. LITs will be challenged as they work hard, learn new skills and take part in daily HIS Team Bible studies.
The LIT training week will be held from July 2 (9:00 am) to July 5 (noon). This leadership course will cost $200.00 per leader. An additional cost of $50.00 will be charged for each week that the LIT stays at the camp (to a maximum cost of $500.00). This money will go toward their food and upkeep costs while at camp. Young people wishing to be an LIT are encouraged to raise the money through small jobs, and/or raise sponsorship money through individuals or their home church. (Forms will be provided for personal sponsorship.)
