Frequently Asked Questions
What does summer look like at Camp Anderson Anchored?
One of the beautiful things about camp is that everyday is new and exciting! We have two weeks of our Student Summer Camps where we do all things camp! We are cabin counselors, worship leaders, recreation guides, small group leaders and more. Our other eight weeks of camp are hosting large Student groups as they have their camp on our campus. During these weeks, we strive to be excellent hosts, building relationships with the students and leaders, removing any obstacle from their path that might distract from the main point of camp: JESUS!
What are the requirements to work at Camp Anderson Anchored for Summer 2027?
The purpose of our Summer programming and ministries is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. As such, it is very important that Staff and Volunteers have a personal, growing relationship with Jesus Christ. All Full Time Staff must be at least 18 years old. Part Time Staff and Volunteers may be 16 or 17 years old. All Staff and Volunteers are required to pass a Level 2 background screen and complete Sexual Abuse Awareness Training. The camp pays for the screening and training.
Can I volunteer for just a week, maybe two?
Absolutely! We love our volunteers. Students and adults may volunteer to help with Summer Camp. Students must be 16 years old to volunteer. Community volunteer hours can be signed for those who need them. We also have RV spots available for adults who would like to volunteer. It's a wonderful opportunity to volunteer and then return to your own premises at the end of the day. Volunteers must complete an Interest Form and pass a Level 2 Background Check.
Do Full Time Summer Staff get paid?
Yes, Full Time Summer Staff are offered a stipend as well as lodging and meals.
What types of jobs are available?
There are MANY moving parts to camp! Each role and responsibility is valuable...no role is more important than another! There are opportunities to work in the Coffee Shop, Camp Store, Kitchen, Groundskeeping, Life Guards, and of course, cleaning. One of the most important things our Staff will do over the summer is connect with students and leaders for the glory of God! We strive to be the best hosts, have strong programming, and do it all so that others will come to know Christ.
