What types of work
might I do?
Summer staff team
members can expect to have worked in a number of roles by the summer's
end. Team members spend much of their
time in one "main" work assignment such as lifeguarding, kitchen, grounds/landscaping,
and housekeeping. Summer staff also share regular dishwashing and camp cleaning
responsibilities, and spend up to four
weeks as camp counselors.
|
|
How many weeks might
I counsel?
Most staff counsel three or four weeks of the summer at Day Camp
(first through sixth grade), Boys or Girls Camps (fourth to sixth grade), Tween Camp (junior high), or Surfside (high
school). Girls, Boys and Tween Camp
counselors must be at least eighteen years of age. Surfside counselors must be
at least twenty years of age and two
years out of high school.
|
How many hours of
free time and work time can I expect each week?
During non-counseling weeks team members
can expect to work several ten-to-eleven hour days, with an hour-and-a-half
afternoon break, and short breaks for devotions and meals. Team members are
also given Sunday mornings off for church attendance and most Thursdays off as
full “days of rest.” Other non-work summer staff activities (such as worship,
accountability groups, and just-for-fun get-togethers) will monopolize much
“free” time the remainder of each week. See also, “A Typical Day On Summer Staff”
on back of this sheet.
During counseling weeks staff members sacrifice much of
their personal free time for the opportunity to love campers and impact them
for Christ. Team members look forward to relaxing on three-day summer staff
girls and guys retreats at the end of these rewarding weeks!

- What activities does your camp/location offer?
- Twin
Rocks staff members can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities including sand
volleyball, boating, canoeing, swimming, hiking, fishing, miniature golf, and Frisbee
golf. Indoors, staff often play basketball, foosball, shuffleboard, pool, or
ping pong in the camp's newly renovated "Shelter" gymnasium, or just
hang out together in the spacious Lodge Meeting Room. Twin Rock's location,
just one block from the beach, also offers staff the benefits of beach
bonfires, ocean sunsets and exploring miles of pristine beach.

|
How many people apply/What are my chances of being
asked to be on staff?
We expect to receive around fifty applications each
year and have just sixteen positions available.
Much time is spent in prayer and discernment in regards to hiring
decisions. We strongly suggest that all applicants have a good "back up
plan."

- What type of accommodations do summer staff live
in?
- In
1998 Twin Rocks was enabled through a generous estate gift, to construct the
beautiful new summer staff "Pacific Woods Lodge." Two-to-three summer
staff team members now share each hotel-style bedroom and private attached
bath. Staff laundry room and living areas are located just down the hall. This
is truly a "must see to believe" summer staff housing facility!
