Counselors and other staff at our camp are adult members of the Northern California congregations in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The staff includes a camp director, Bible Instructors, counselors, activities director, handicraft director and assistants, nurse and lifeguard. Counselors supervise up to ten campers each, and are responsible for their campers 24 hours a day.
Staff are not charged for their week at camp. Children of staff members who are too young for the full camp program (below grade 4) may come to camp as Little Lambs. Counselors are provided to supervise them. See our front page for this year's Little Lamb rates. Staff and all campers are covered by medical, accident and liability insurance with Church Mutual of Merrill, Wisconsin.
Staff members are encouraged to become certified in CPR and basic first aid; contact your local Red Cross for more information. Staff may be asked to use their vehicles to help transport the campers on field trips.
Application forms are available from your church or from our download page. Your application should be in our hands in time for the June board of director's meeting; see our front page for the date. Please give your completed form to your pastor for his evaluation and signature well in advance of this date. Late applications are often accepted, but please apply as early as possible!
A counselor/staff workshop and in-service training session will be held on a Sunday one or two weeks before the start of camp (see our front page for the date) at 2:30 p.m., at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 486 S. "J" Street (corner of 5th & "J", Livermore, CA. It is very important for you to attend this workshop, especially if you have not served on the Tree of Life staff before. If you are absolutely unable to make it, however, contact Steve Pechin so that workshop materials can be mailed to you.
