Our Staff are handpicked, kid- and God-loving!

oCamp Wightman is a special place for campers and staff alike, and we are excited you might join us for a summer full of memories that will last a lifetime. We welcome both churched and un-churched families. We are committed to doing our work for God’s glory and as Christians our faith is a natural part of our lives. We model Christ in our daily living, work to provide a 24/7 Christian community, and adopt a ‘no pressure’ approach to sharing the Gospel.

Our campers don’t always come to summer camp expecting to see Jesus, but when here they often see Jesus through us! We look for college-aged young adults who are committed to investing their summer in making Wightman an extraordinary experience for campers. He/She will do this while selflessly showing the light of God’s love and exhibiting a positive attitude in all his/her duties.

Our purpose is to make a child’s time at summer camp a valuable factor in his/her complete development. This can be accomplished through recruiting the right staff who have plenty of enthusiasm, determination, and a strong Christian faith. We need counselors who can rise to the challenge of PUTTING THE KIDS FIRST! The counselor's task is to be a warm friend, a willing guide, and a strong role model.
Our staff members experience:
  • Fellowship and friendships with Christian counselors from all over the world
  • Leadership, communication and people skills
  • Tons of Fun with hundreds of children all summer long
  • A chance to be a role model for children and teens
  • The toughest job you will ever love
  • An opportunity to work outdoors in a positive environment that helps children to grow
  • Fun times at summer camp, doing things like Sports, Arts & Crafts, Hiking, and Songs…while you get paid
  • Spiritual growth
  • Better defined sense of who you are and where you’re going in life
  • Skills as a leader, supervisor, confidant, co-worker, team player, and mentor
  • Close relationships with campers and staff that will last a lifetime
