Prospective Staff

Are you ready for your best
summer ever?

It takes a special sort of person to be a summer staff member at Camp Gray.  Not only do you have to be ready to come out of your comfort zone to be rather zany at times, you need to be able to think on your feet, meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of a gaggle of campers, sing "Light the Fire" 1001 times and still smile, play hard, pray hard, and find time for your own growth.  If you've ever thought about being a parent or a teacher, this is the best prep you could ever get! Did we also mention that this is one of the most fun, most rewarding jobs you could ever have?

If you're out of high school and interested in a being a part of an incredible faith community and making a difference in a child's life this summer, please print the forms below and send them in, or if you have more questions, contact Camp Gray. It is truly an awesome experience, and we encourage you to apply.

- Grace Murray Hopper

"He has achieved success who has lived well; laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty, or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."
