Same deal as Winter Camp staff, but for family camp, in January! Come spend a weekend with families from across our archdiocese and help us put on an awesome program for parents and kids alike. You’ll be serving by helping us supervise the kids while the parents attend sessions with guest speakers, maybe playing some angleball in the snow, and getting to connect with the parents too, who may be new to the Village, or they may be legendary alumni who are coming back to the Village again and again!

Family Camp Staff are typically the new Summer Support Staff and former Summer Camp Staff, though others are welcome too. Staff will act as “hosts” for one or two families, sitting with them at meals and helping them with program information, orientation to the camp facilities, etc. as well as in leading all camp programs. Staff will be selected based on need according to the number of families that attend. Staff will be housed together, allowing families the privacy of their own cabin.
