this isn't just a job...

...it's a life-impacting experience!
Working at camp gives you skills you’ll use in every job you’ll ever have—leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and empathy. It’s hands-on, heart-deep learning that stays with you long after the summer ends. Being part of this ministry will change how you see the world and surround you with a community shaped by Jesus’ love.

At Water’s Edge Ministries, we:
💛 Welcome your unique gifts (and your quirks, too!)
💬 Practice open, honest, grace-filled conversations
🙏 Commit to being faithful to God and to one another

Together, we create a safe, joyful, and creative “sandbox” where everyone can explore who they are and grow into who God is calling them to be.

Will you join us?

Positions available include Cabin Leaders, GLBC Team Members, Camp House Team Members, Assistant Program Directors, and a variety of Program Support Staff positions.  Learn more about working with Water’s Edge Ministries before applying!
