Want to work at Camp Buc this summer?
There’s simply no better or more rewarding way to spend a summer than working in a Christian camp setting. As a part of our summer staff, you will join with other young adults and year-round staff in an encouraging community of faith that will challenge you to grow in your relationship with God. You will have the opportunity to share your faith and listen to the faith stories of others as you lead campers through daily Bible studies and worship experiences, and as you guide campers through the daily activities that make up all the fun of summer camp. Our Summer Staff works together for ten weeks, beginning in late May and ending in early August. We structure our programs around a “small group decentralized” model 
of camping. The majority of our camping sessions are week‐long residential sessions for kindergarten through twelfth graders. Specialty camps include a Day Camp, Buddy & Me Camp, High Adventure Camps, two-week camp options, and Mission Camps.
