Camp Bahamas Staff Application
Future Staff of Camp Bahamas,
As Directors of Camp Bahamas, we believe God brings just the right people to serve
with us each summer. The most rewarding summers have been those with staff who
are passionate about their relationship with God. We believe wholeheartedly that
campers will only go as far as we are in our pursuit of God. We cannot lead
teenagers to a place in their walk where we have not gone ourselves. Therefore, all
staff must have a testimony of when they received Jesus as their Lord and Savior and
must be currently growing in their relationship with Him, through personal daily
devotions, and active in their local church.
Camp Bahamas believes that what an adult does in moderation, a teenager will do in
excess. We want to set a standard at Camp for teenagers, giving them a counselor
for them to model their life after. Therefore we expect every staff member to
adhere to a high standard of living during their time of service at Camp Bahamas. We
find it helpful to mention the following issues based on that as well as being
sensitive to the Bahamamian culture we minister in:
Modesty-Ladies should be very modest in their dress- No bikinis, tight
clothing or clothes that reveal cleavage or midriff.
Tattoos- All tattoos should be covered
Piercing-Male staff must remove piercings, and both male and female staff
must remove any excessive piercing.
The impact that you make in the communities in which we live and minister in, whether
positive or negative, will remain long after you leave As a Camp Bahamas staff
member, it is important to not only represent the ministry of Camp Bahamas well, but
more importantly to represent God well.
Our ultimate goal while we have these teenagers during their week of camp is to
reach them for Christ and turn their life around. We are a non denominational camp
with many staff and campers from different denominational backgrounds. We are
Christ centered in all of our teachings. We seek to avoid any controversy or
confusion. We ask that all staff refrain from publicly using or teaching any sign
gifts (i.e. tongues, prophecy, etc) while at camp. Our agenda at camp is not to promote
a specific denomination, but to keep Christ first. Staff must be willing to do their
upmost in being a good witness during their time at Camp Bahamas.
Whether you join us for a week or an extended period of time, we know you become an
important part of what God is doing to capture the heart of Bahamian teenagers and
to fan the fire of passion for a lifetime of fulfilling God’s plan for their life.
Working at Camp Bahamas Ministries should be viewed as a missions/ministry
opportunity. Because of this there is a weekly fee involved, which will be discussed
during your interview.
Thank you for your interest in the Camp Bahamas Ministries
