Serve End of Season

Our typical dining services workday begins at 6:15 A.M. There are breaks for meals and a short morning break. Most days the staff has a break in the afternoon after lunch until dinner prep. The kitchen staff then work until around 8:00 P.M. with a break for dinner. The rest of the evening is yours, except if you work that evening in the Trading Post serving ice cream (you will usually work twice a week). Other staff members work similar hours. It is a lot of work, but it is also a rewarding way to serve God – and a lot of fun, too!

While most of our positions are in dining services, housekeeping and laundry, we also have a few positions available in program, caretaking, and the office. Please indicate on the application where you would prefer to work. See a full list of Staff Position Descriptions at Camp Arcadia.

Staff are housed in staff quarters located in the second floor of the Wigwam building. The rooms are equipped with single beds and bunk beds, hanging & dresser space for each person, and sinks and mirrors. Down the hall are communal bathrooms/showers. The number of people are in each room will be based on the number and gender of our staff. Married couples will be housed together if possible! Based on each retreat capacity, some staff may be housed in the Inn.

Please consider supporting Camp’s mission even further by applying to serve on end of season staff as a volunteer. Every position posted is available as a volunteer staff position. Our volunteer staff are paid a travel reimbursement ($125 for a weekend retreat, $150 for a week-long retreat), receive room & board and get a staff T-shirt. If you are 16 years old or 17 years old, you must apply as a volunteer. This is also a great option if you’re looking for volunteer hours for NHS or other service organizations. The process to apply for volunteer staff is the same– there is a place on the application to state your preference of serving as a volunteer staff member.
