Summer Employment
The heart of Crossways' ministry is
in its counseling staff. We need staff who are
called to serve at camp and are committed to regular
Christian fellowship, Bible study, and service. If this is what
you're looking for, we hope to have you on staff at
one of our camps!
Serving in ministry at camp is a
fantastic blend of wholesome fun, hard work and the
chance to make a difference in the lives of young
people. Not only will you spend your summer ministering
to kids and families in a solid Christian environment,
but you will also be stretched and challenged to grow in
your walk with God. Staff
leave camp enriched by their experience and changed by
living in community with other Christians.
We invite you to prayerfully
consider your call to serve at one of the camps of
Crossways. It will be a blessed experience full of
personal growth and lifelong memories. This summer camp job could be one that will impact your
life for years to come!
Application Process
To apply for
a position, please complete the following steps:
-
Application— Submit your
application to the
Appleton office ASAP.
-
Reference Forms—
Two reference
forms are required for all summer
staff applicants. If a reference
completes the form online, they will need to add
your name under the "Applicant Information" portion
of the form.
Your reference forms can be submitted in two ways:
-
ONLINE! Have your reference submit their
form using our
online form at
http://www.CrosswaysCamps.org/ReferenceForm.htm.
Once submitted, the online reference form will
be sent to our Crossways' Appleton Office. If
your reference enters your email address on the
form, we will notify via email when they
complete the reference process.
-
Download the
reference
form and distribute it to your references.
Forms can be emailed to
info@crosswayscamps.org, faxed to
920-882-9474 or mailed to Crossways' Appleton
Office at 16 Tri-Park Way, Appleton, WI 54914. It’s a good
idea to give each reference a self addressed,

not be considered until all references have been
received and verified (via phone or e-mail) by the
Site Director.
-

from January through March and conduct in-person
interviews whenever possible. We attend camp fairs
at various colleges in the Midwest and are able to
