Year-Round Staff Team
Camp was a very formative place for Janna’s faith and has always been a place where she has found deep, Christ-centered community. Always interested in going on adventures and stepping out of her comfort zone, knowing that God is found in the uncomfortable situations, Janna felt like the next step in her journey was to become a part of the camp team full-time. Janna has grown to love being a part of God’s plan though camp and is very excited to be involved in a more permanent way.
Summer Teams
Each year, Pioneer Camp welcomes many young adults to our Summer Camp programs to teach, guide and support campers and oversee activities. These dedicated youth are the most valuable resource that we have. Positions available vary greatly but the same commitment and hard work is necessary for all.
We look for energetic young people who have a heart for God and who are willing to give of their time and energy to be models and mentors to the many campers who come to Pioneer Camp. Check out Summer Staff & Volunteer opportunities below.
