Camp Arcadia has a variety of opportunities to serve God by serving others. There are four categories of staff: full season, summer, fall and teen retreat. Positions are available in the areas of kitchen, housekeeping, program, caretaking/facilities, office, archives and media (photo and video production). All of our staff are housed and provided meals on-site at Camp Arcadia. Our staff are also paid, but you may also consider supporting Camp’s mission even further by applying as a volunteer. The application process is the same as paid and volunteer staff. The online staff application will be available on December 1st 2020. We are currently still accepting applications! Come work, live, and play with us right on the shores of Lake Michigan!
