Summer Employment Opportunities

A summer at Loucon is both demanding and rewarding. Through long days and long nights, one learns what it is to have a servant’s heart. With Christ at the center of every activity, task, job, or chore, the opportunities for growth are endless. Not only will one have the opportunity to grow personally, but he/she will also have the opportunity to grow in Christian community with the fellow staff members. With a focus on service to every camper and volunteer as well as each other, it is our prayer that everyone who enters the gates of Loucon will grow in their relationship with Christ.
