Summer Staff Requirements
You need to be at least 18 years old to apply for summer staff. We want people who love Jesus, love kids, and are willing to put their faith into action to serve in outdoor ministry. If you haven’t ever attended camp at ALOMA or aren’t a huge outdoor expert, don’t worry! Each summer we hire people who are brand new to camp.
Position Options
At Camp ALOMA, we hire 12 summer staff. The positions listed below are available each summer. On your Summer Service Profile, you will be able to list your top three position choices, as well as any other positions you may be interested in. We may ask you about serving in a position you did not put as one of your top choices. Positions offered are:
- Program Director
- Senior Counselors
- Kitchen Staff
- Crafts Coordinator

Salary + Time Off
All staff are paid at least $225 per week plus room and board.
You will work very hard if selected to be a part of the Camp ALOMA staff team. Staff work from early in the morning to late in the evening, with very little personal time. Counselors spend nearly every hour of the day with their campers, while Support Staff have grueling and unglamorous duties to fulfill each day.
All staff receive an average of one day off per week, usually Saturdays being that day. Half-day Fridays and Sundays. You also receive one hour off a day during the week. The only weekend you are expected to work is Burger Bash; even during that weekend, you have some time off.
Any additional time off requests are entirely dependent on the summer program’s needs. Staff who can work the entire summer will be hired first.
All that being said, this is the hardest job you’ll ever love. You’ll get paid to do things like shoot arrows, gaga ball, dance around the campfire, roast s’mores, and talk to kids about Jesus. You’ll wake up every morning knowing you get a chance to make a difference and experience the rhythms of a life centered around faith and fun. You’ll become a part of the rich and deep legacy at Camp ALOMA and gain a camp family that will last for the rest of your life. A summer at camp can change your life in a way that not many jobs can.
Don’t delay. Even if you are unsure about your summer plans, start the process by submitting your application. If you have any questions or would like more information, call the camp office at 928-778-1690 or email at Office@campaloma.com
