Staff Opportunities
Summer staff applications open December 28th, 2023.
What makes camp such a powerful agent for change in the life of a young person?
At Camp Bob, we believe it’s through the power and love of Jesus Christ. While we cannot deny that can happen spontaneously, we also cannot deny that we, as Christians, have been tasked to be the hands and feet of Christ, loving and serving the world. So, does rock climbing change a life? Does canoeing or archery? Maybe. Who’s to say it can’t? But we do know that for you, a servant of Christ, changing a life isn’t just a possibility, it’s a guarantee.
Join us and do just that.
