Make This Summer Awesome.
Work at Bingle
Your summer can make a difference in your life, and in the life of a camper.
Thank you for your interest in a staff position at Bingle Camp! The snow maybe falling, the days are short and summer camp seems to have just ended but we are already planning and anticipating who will be a part of the new summer staff and getting ready for what God has in store for next summer! Many of our staff comes from the lower 48 states. God does an awesome thing at camp that is very moving to be a part of—He takes a group of people from all over with different ages, denominational backgrounds, likes, and dislikes and molds them together as a team to share the Gospel. Are you being called to be a part of this year’s team at Bingle Camp?
We are looking for team players that are willing to share their love of Christ with our campers not just vocally but also in attitude and daily lives. Bingle Camp makes intentional efforts to include children from all denominations, economic, health, and social levels. We also invite children from various rural Alaskan villages. At Bingle Camp, we find that having diversity in staff and campers further enhances our program effectiveness. Additionally the Board of Directors seeks individuals that are open to the differences within the body of Christ and is willing to work with those various denominational backgrounds and traditions.
