Summer Camp Staff Application

Summer Camp is a time for making fun memories, developing new relationships and to better discover Jesus. Staff roles at the North NSW Youth Summer Camps are an opportunity to use your God-given talents to mentor 10-17 year olds, to support each camper in integrating well into their unit/cabin, teach new skills, encourage campers to try new skills, promote Christian unity, and be an example of the joys and privileges of knowing Jesus.

In order to better equip our staff to meet these objectives, we run a day of staff training the day prior to your camp and you will be required to be there no later than 10:00am. If you would like to stay the night before, please let us know.

We are asking that our staff pay a $60.00 acceptance fee. This fee helps cover a small portion of the costs associated in your meals/accommodation/training etc. allowing a greater subsidy for bringing underprivileged kids to camp. This fee is refundable ONLY if you are not accepted. Ensure you are available for the dates you apply for.

Staff numbers will be limited to how many campers book in. If you are accepted you will stay at Yarra and receive normal meals with the other campers.

Please note: ADSAFE TRAINING AND WWCC IS COMPULSORY. You will NOT be able to attend the camp without these.

STEPS BEFORE CONTINUING (if over 18):

1. Have the name you completed your AdSafe training under.

2. Have your WWCC number (or application number if you have just applied).

3. Read through the Staff manual.

If you have any questions please contact the NNSW Youth Department on 02 4644 3242 or Dana on 0406 880 172 before proceeding with this application.

Working With Children Check

If you are 18 years or older you are required to have a WWCC. If you don’t have one yet you will need to complete the online application, then visit a motor registry with proof of identity. Once you have done this you should receive an email that states your clearance number. You will need to submit your clearance number to North NSW Youth Department before you are able to work at Summer Camp.

ADSAFE Training

If you are 18 or older, have you completed your ADSAFE training in the last three years? If not, please complete the online training before continuing. This training is compulsory for all staff. We will NOT be doing the Adsafe training on the staff day. If you have already done the training, you don’t have to do it again, but please make sure your certificate is still in date. Please let us know if you have any questions.
