Summer Employment

Starting Your Journey: 1 Profile | 20+ Locations | 10 Weeks that Matter

The Summer Service Profile is now open for the 2024 camp season! Click here to view the NLOMA Partner Camp Directory. 

Many of our partner camps participate in a joint effort to recruit and hire summer staff workers. This coming summer, they will collectively employ over 500 young adults. The time of service will vary. Please check each camp’s information to see an exact date. All summer staff receive free meals and lodging for the duration of their employment.

NLOMA camps are in need of a wide variety of skills. In Joint Recruitment, we are able to pool resources to conduct interviews and receive applications from applicants from across the country. Through this process, we work together to connect you with an opportunity that meets your geographical and job preferences.

Note: When profiles are being accepted, camps may not begin offering positions until late February.

Your first step is to check out our partner camps and identify two at which you might like to serve. Then complete our summer staff hiring questionnaire.

Next Steps

Within two weeks after submitting your NLOMA Profile, you will be contacted by your first-choice camp to schedule an interview. Your interview will be a fun time to get to talk about outdoors ministry, and if you have any questions you can get some answers. You may be hired by your first-choice camp. Otherwise, your application may be a part of Joint Recruitment Round-Up in February, where you may be considered for employment by other partner camps, after which time you will find out more.
