Summer Staff

Times of worship and discovery are scheduled throughout each day

Summer staff are not cabin counselors. They partner with volunteer adults from our churches who come for a week to work with the campers.

Staff coordinate the program and support of camp and end up spending almost all of their waking hours surrounded by campers.

Each summer, approximately 30 adults gather at Fowler for 10 1/2 weeks to commit their summer to honoring God by caring for God's children. These adults come from various parts of the country (and outside the country too!),form a community of faith where they can live into the vision of being in community, living simply, and caring for God's world.

This is not a job for everyone, but it is a job that challenges all who come to make a difference in the lives of the 900 children who come each summer.

Campers: they come in many shapes and sizes; they are ready for fun; open to learn

Staff who work at Fowler must come with HOPE: hope that God is still at work in this beautiful world. Becoming a place where children begin to see God's role in their own lives opens us all up to what God is calling us to be.

A summer at Fowler may have an impact that changes the rest of your life!

During this time staff receive training in Christian camping skills and in the areas of children and youth ministry. Staff also work hard at becoming a faith community that witnesses to Christ through both word and action.
