Camp Caraway summer programs staff includes male and female college-aged Camp Counselors, a Videographer, a Worship Coordinator, an Assistant Director. Summer staff are paid twice a month based on experience. Room and most meals are also provided throughout the summer.

The summer camp season starts in early June and ends in mid August. Staff members are expected to work each week. A typical camp week begins at 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening with staff meeting, dinner, worship and ends after duties are completed on Friday evening (usually around 6 p.m.) Staff will be scheduled to work some weekends as needed.

During orientation weeks staff will have scheduled free time, we will have training during the first two weekends. There will be up to 3 partial weekend camps that staff will work. Staffers are also expected to attend the staff banquet, usually held the weekend before the last week of camp. All other weekends are free for the staff after their duties are completed. Staff are welcome to come and go during off weekends. Many love staying at camp and enjoying the property while hanging out with other staff. There is a free washer and dryer for the staff's use.

Our administrative staff will do everything we can to prepare our staff for success. Caraway staffers are thoroughly trained to do their job. Before camp begins staff will be expected to read our staff manual and watch training videos in preparation for the summer. There will be a pre camp orientation weekend in April. Orientation lasts about two weeks, unless you are invited to come in early for additional training. During this time staffers become completely familiar with the camp program and how to lead each activity and recreation. They learn how to be an effective camp counselor, learn age-group characteristics, proper motivation and discipline techniques, how to lead campers spiritually, safety training, and sexual abuse awareness training. Staff members are also trained in first aid, CPR and basic water safety.
