You could be a counselor, like Caleb Jeffers. He counseled cabins of 8-10 boys and led Day Camps.

You could be a program coordinator like Ross Murray. He organized the cabins and led the all-camp activities at Camp Vermilion.

You could even work as support staff, like Emily Johnson. She managed the kitchen in Camp Vermilion, cooking the good food for campers and canoe trips to eat.

We are getting ready for the ELCA Camp Fair, coming to Augsburg on Feburary 22, and we would like to know what students, faculty, and staff worked at a summer camp. What camp did you work at? When did you work there? We’ll highlight the camps you nominate in the daily A-Mail.

Also, there a lot of activities surrounding the ELCA Camp Fair:

• On Tuesday, February 20, Augsburg Alum Tony Schaden will share his experiences working at Camp Wapogasset in chapel at 11:20

• Up to 18 students can receive stipends to work at camp this summer. These $500 stipends will give a boost to your camp pay. Get an application at the Camp Fair, or request one from Ross Murray in the Campus Ministry Office. Ross’ phone is 612-330-1151 and his email is murray@augsburg.edu

• The ELCA Camp Fair will be held from 4:00-6:30 in the East Commons on Thursday, February 22. Stop by to browse the camps. Pick up a stipend application. Ask what camp is the right fit for you
