How long is the commitment to SWO Summer Staff?
12 weeks in total. 2 weeks of staff training and 10 weeks of summer camp running from the end of May to the beginning of August.
What does a normal week look like?
Campers arrive on Monday in the mid-afternoon and leave Saturday morning. Throughout the week you will be partnered with a group to work with their leaders to invest in their students. This includes sitting in services with them, eating meals with them, and leading discussions and conversations.
What does life at SWO look like?
You will be housed with several other summer staff members of the same gender. Working at camp lets you see how to live in a close community while sleeping, eating, working, and living with other believers 24/7.
What will spiritual development and discipleship look like?
During the summer we have community groups and fire teams designed to give you the opportunity for intentional discipleship. Fire teams are smaller groups of 3-4 people that are meant to facilitate personal relationships. Community groups consist of 2-3 fire teams with a full-time staff member leading to provide biblical wisdom and insight.
Can I do an internship or get experiential learning credit?
Yes! We have worked with many colleges to meet internship requirements.
