Working with mentally and/or physically disabled adults.

Staff Needs:

1. Cook - we are looking for a camp cook to help with menu creation, meal preparation, snack time, and clean-up for our weeklong camps in Aldergrove and Salmon Arm. This is a paid position running for three weeks at two locations in the summer of 2025.  The successful candidate will handle ordering food, receiving food when it arrives, organizing the kitchen, preparing meals, distributing meals, and cleaning up. This is an excellent opportunity to gain kitchen and cooking experience, offer your food preparation talents, help those with developing abilities have a great time at a summer camp, and make a few dollars. Please get in touch with Pearl Hiemstra at 250-253-3045 if you are interested and/or tell someone you know to apply.

2. Cabin Leaders - we require adults, 18 years and over, to be cabin leaders at camp.  At Amasa, we run on a ratio of one cabin leader to four campers.  Each cabin leader will be responsible for their campers, shepherding them to and from their activities according to the schedule.  You will be given specific information about your campers, including dietary restrictions, if any.  As a team player, you may also be given duties such as leading games or a craft, as well as helping with skits.  You may be called upon to pray with your campers or to pray for the group at meal or chapel times.  You will sleep in the dorm style cabins with your group and two other groups (a total of 15 individuals per cabin) so that there are other leaders close at hand should you need assistance in any situation. Training will be provided.  There is no cost to attend as a cabin leader.  However, this is a volunteer position and no remuneration will be paid.

3. Chapel Speakers - this is probably the most challenging of jobs at camp!  This individual is responsible for creating and delivering a series of sermons/talks while at camp; a total of eight in all. Given the nature of disabilities at camps, the talks need to be fairly short and easily understood biblical truths.  You will use visual aids for those with difficulty grasping the spoken word and audience participation is always a hit.  On-site accommodation will be provided.  This is a volunteer position, but if the budget allows, an honourarium may be paid.

Qualifications:

1. A heart for God; and
2. A desire to serve the disabled.
