  • Two young women hugging outdoors on a grassy field, smiling at the camera.

    Department Directors

    These staff form the camp’s leadership core. They must be at least 21 with one year of camp experience. Department Directors supervise staff, shape camp culture, and direct programs. Roles include Village Directors, Program Director, Small Classes Director, Horsemanship Director, Challenge Course Director, Waterfront Director, Maintenance Director, Chaplain, and Audio Visual Director.

  • Smiling young man with a backpack standing next to a boy with a bandage on his face, both wearing Sunset Lake t-shirts outdoors with trees in the background.

    Camp Counselors

    Counselors are the front lines of our camp ministry. They guide cabins of 6–9 campers and provide a fun, safe and inclusive environment for their campers. Counselors must be at least 18 years of age, have an active Christian experience, and a love for sharing Jesus with kids.

  • A young man and a young boy celebrating at a party outdoors, both wearing party hats and giving each other a high five. The young man is kneeling and holding a snack, while the boy has a snack bag hanging from his pocket.

    Class Instructors

    Activity Instructors provide supervision and instruction in the classes and activities of camp. Most teaching areas require prior skills, knowledge, and training. Horsemanship, Challenge Course, and Aquatics all require onsite training and certifications. Most activity areas require that staff be at least 18 years of age.

  • Three young men outdoors, one playing an acoustic guitar and smiling, wearing jackets and backpacks, in a wooded area.

    Support Staff

    Support staff keeps our camp running. Office staff, Maintenance, Scheduling, Food Services, Laundry, Audio/Visual, Programming/Party Planner and Worship Leader are all critical positions that keep the fun happening. Some positions on this team are open to staff that are 17 years of age.

  • Three children enjoying a tube ride on a lake, water splashing around them, with a forested shoreline in the background.

    Volunteer Staff

    Whether you’re staff alumni or you’re brand new to Sunset Lake, we always welcome volunteers at Sunset Lake. This opportunity is great for those looking to experience camp for 1 or 2 weeks or even the whole summer. You will still have to go through the application process and supply three references.
