Staff

Looking for an adventure this summer?  Cedarbrook Camp of Ohio needs you!

Come and serve at our unique, local mission field and share God’s Word with young people this summer! It is a hard job watching a handful of campers for a week, but it is very rewarding as well. Enjoy spending time outdoors teaching campers fun activities, singing lots of songs, playing games, and get some quality campfire time—and s’mores too, of course! Grow closer to God this summer, gain valuable leadership skills, and develop relationships that last a lifetime.

Cedarbrook staff are a multi-generational group of Christ followers, eager to share God’s Word and help campers grow and learn new skills. The staff is the spiritual core of camp; therefore a profession of faith in Christ, obedience to Biblical standards, and a quality of Christ-likeness are required. The objectives of camp will only be achieved as every staff member consistently lives out their Biblical faith. 

Please read our Statement of Faith before applying.

“Camp is something I look forward to as soon as I leave it. It is a safe atmosphere where I can be myself and grow closer to God. The friends I have made there have become closer than family and a huge peace comes when I pass under the Stony Glen sign on the way in. The work being done in everyone’s lives there is amazing.”
