To be considered for junior staff, students must be entering 8th grade, be at least 13 years old, and attend Elevate. If students are unable to attend Elevate, they must contact our office at info@blbc.com or 269-244-5193.

We do not promise junior staffing opportunities to applicants. Whether you will be accepted for Junior Staff and the position to which you will be assigned depends on your application, references, and interview.

We strongly recommend applying before Elevate. That allows us to better know who is interested in junior staffing, so we can fill our needs and gives you a better chance of getting your first choice of position for which you are qualified.

If you apply prior to Elevate, we typically respond within a week or two by email. If you apply during the week of Elevate, you will be informed by Thursday of that week.

After you apply, Bair Lake Bible Camp will review your application. If you are qualified to serve on Junior Staff, we will look at our summer needs and consider your availability, skills, qualifications, and preferences in order to find a good fit for you. If you are applying to be a Junior Cabin Leader, you will participate in an interview during Elevate. Because Junior Cabin Leaders serve in direct, frontline ministry with campers, the screening process for this role is more in-depth.

You may list what weeks you are available and your desired number of weeks to staff in your application. You may also rate your top three role choices. Bair Lake Bible Camp then evaluates our needs for each week of camp and all of the potential Junior Staff’s qualifications to fit people into specific roles. While we try to accommodate your preferences, we are not always able to do so. If you find that you don’t get the role or the number of weeks you desire, we are willing to discuss our decision and explain our reasoning, but we reserve the right to make the best decisions we can for Camp’s needs and your growth.
