The lake is calling. This isn't just a summer job, it's a mission.

Spend your summer on the water, keeping campers safe and helping them take on things they didn't think they could do. As a Lifeguard, you'll run lake activities, watch over every swimmer, and help build a fun, Christ-centered environment one day at a time.

If you're looking for something that actually matters, not just a paycheck, this is it.

• Serve as an alert and active lifeguard during all scheduled waterfront activities
• Maintain clean, safe, and well-organized waterfront areas
• Participate in lifeguard training and ongoing skill refreshers
• Welcome and assist campers, staff, and guests
• Support the Aquatics Lead with daily operations and special events
• Assist with camper arrival and departure on weekends
• Reflect Christ's love through your actions and attitude
• Participate in camp activities planned by the Recreation and Ministry Departments, primarily after dinner hours
• Flex into other roles and temporary assignments as needed, including Cabin Leader

• $275/week + housing and meals included
• Red Cross Lifeguard Certification available through Timber-lee training if you don't already have it
• Live on-site with a built-in community
• Waterfront experience and a certification that transfer to future jobs
• A summer that impacts lives, including your own

• This is a live-in, residential role
• May include temporary reassignment to Cabin Leader or other roles based on camp needs
• Requires active participation in a Christian ministry environment

What We're Looking For

• A professing Christian with a personal faith
• Current Red Cross Lifeguard Certificate, or the ability to obtain one through Timber-lee training
• Strong swimming ability and comfort in open water
• Alertness, sound judgment, and a strong sense of responsibility
• Interest in working with youth
• Willingness to be fully engaged in a live-in summer camp environment

Physical Requirements

• Able to work outdoors in hot and humid conditions for extended periods
• Able to lift and move up to 50 pounds

• Staff Training: June 1 – June 12
• Camp Sessions: June 13 – August 7

You'll spend the summer responsible for something real. Guarding the waterfront builds judgment, confidence, and the kind of steadiness that shows up in everything you do afterward. You'll also be the reason a camper tries the swim test again, makes it out to the raft, or gets in the water at all.

That's a summer worth having.

Strong swimmer? Love lake life? Want to make a difference? This is your summer to dive in.

• Must be 16 years of age or older
• Employment is contingent on background and reference checks
• This role includes overnight supervision of campers in shared residential spaces, including sleeping areas
