Why work at Brookhill

  • Fun

    Camp should be full of energy, adventure, and shared experiences — and staff get to lead the way.

  • Connection

    Staff build meaningful relationships with campers and with each other, all summer long.

  • Jesus

    Staff help create a Christ-centered environment through the way they lead, serve, and care for people.

  • Growth

    Leading a cabin, a team, or a program stretches you. You'll grow as a leader alongside people who want the same.

Grown from within

Our staff started as campers

Brookhill is intentional about training staff from within. Every counselor and leader you meet here once sat where our campers sit. It is how we pass on the heart of camp, and it is the growth and development pipeline that keeps Brookhill feeling like Brookhill year after year.

All staff applicants must have previously attended Brookhill as a camper.

Who we're looking for

What we look for

  • You love people

    Campers remember the staff who noticed them. Connection starts with caring about people.

  • You're willing to serve

    Following Jesus looks like serving others — in the big moments and the dish line.

  • You're ready to grow

    You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be open to learning.

  • You bring energy and initiative

    Fun doesn't happen by accident. We want people who jump in and make it happen.
