Adult Summer Staff

Adult Staff at Camp DeSoto are adults who serve the Camp community as doctors, nurses, head counselors, or specialized activity instructors. These staff members provide stability, wisdom, and maturity in a community that consists primarily of children and college students.

Adults in these positions enable counselors to give the care intentionall for campers need by providing them support and guidance. As older adults in the community, Specialty Staff members’ maturity and wisdom provide a solid foundation for the care that Program and SERVE Staff give to children.

While specific tasks and responsibilities vary for each Specialty Staff member, their presence in and prayers for the community give it the depth and wisdom that make it a nurturing environment for everyone involved.

Applicants for adult summer staff positions must be over 21 years of age and some level of experience working in youth development (teacher, youth ministry, counseling, etc.) is preferred. Adult Staff positions are available for varying lengths of time, usually from one week commitments to a full term. These positions are typically offered by the Directors.
