Staff Member
Staff members at CCPA are key players in the camp experience
by acting as counselors to cabin groups or by teaching camper activities.
Good staff members help campers to make friends, learn new skills, feel
loved and accepted as part of the group, face fears and disappointments,
and understand the Bible and apply it to their lives. Our staff members
are a mix of moms, Pioneer Club leaders, CILT/BUILT graduates, and other
Christian men and women ages 18 and over who love the Lord and who want
to serve Him at camp.
During pre-camp training, Cherith staff receive instruction in safety
measures and emergency procedures, counseling techniques, teaching methods,
evangelism, and camping skills.

Camper Service Team
The intent of the service team program is to provide additional
leadership/service opportunities for campers while also meeting
some of the needs of camp.
Potential areas of service are: maintenance (cleaning); kitchen;
horses; lifeguard.
Guidelines for service team:
1. Camp fee will be half of the current camp fee.
2. Campers will be in a cabin group, will participate in Bible
Exploration, 1-2 activity periods, and most evening programs.
3. Campers may be limited to one week on the service team.
4. Service team may be limited in number.
5. Campers must be completing 9th grade to apply for the service
team.
6. A staff member will be responsible for general supervision of
service team members; staff in each program area will give
direct on-the-job supervision (e.g. cook/asst. cook will give
specific instructions and supervision, but service team
supervisor will administer guidance and correction as needed).
If you are interested in being a part of the Camper Service Team,
please email Paula Worden, aka "Quail", at quail at
