Work Opportunities at Bingle Camp

January 2006

Thank you for your interest in a staff position at Bingle Camp! I am excited about the upcoming 2006 camping season. Many of our staff come from the lower 48 states. God does an awesome thing at camp that is very exciting to be a part of—He takes a group of people from all over with different ages, denominational backgrounds, likes, and dislikes and molds them together as a team to share the Gospel. Are you being called to be a part of this year’s team at Bingle Camp?

We are looking for team-players that are willing to share their love of Christ with our campers not just vocally but also in attitude and daily lives. Bingle Camp makes intentional efforts to include children from all denominations, economic, health, and social levels. We also invite children from various rural Alaskan villages. At Bingle Camp, we find that having diversity in staff and campers further enhances our program effectiveness.

Please prayerfully consider whether God is calling you to be a part of the Bingle Camp staff this summer. Counselors receive a stipend of approximately $450 per summer and some assistance with travel expenses. Pay for Dining Hall Attendant, Assistant Cook, and Maintenance Person is a bit higher. Program Leader, Outdoor Skills Leader, Camp Host, Cook, and Lifeguard are salaried positions and include reasonable travel expenses. Our summer season is short; therefore we offer short trips to Fairbanks and some other sightseeing experiences. Once the camping season is over, you are free to experience more of what Alaska has to offer by traveling beyond the camp premises on your own. We can help some with getting you set up for such travels.

Look over the enclosed material carefully. If you have internet access check out our web site. Do you fit the qualifications for one or more of our jobs? If you do and are feeling called to a summer of opportunity to minister to the children and youth of Alaska, then please fill out the enclosed application forms and fax or mail them to us along with a signedsexual propriety form and staff policy form. Give reference forms to threepeople who know you, one of whom may be your pastor, and have them fax or mail the finished references back to us.

Once all these steps are complete we will be able to begin the hiring process. It may seem long and tedious, but is necessary so we can provide the safest, most Christ-centered environment for all our campers and staff.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Positions will fill quickly, so get your application and references in promptly!

In Christ,
Lisa Eldridge
