Camp Moja staff consists of volunteers who participate in the planning, preparation, and execution of camp. The camp directors, Mr. Moja, nurses, teachers, head counselors, counselors, and many support staff assist in running camp and the various activities. Staff positions are filled based on a person’s desire and ability to fill the role.Counselors are the largest group of volunteers that help to make Camp Moja successful. They are a very special group of people who spend one week of their summer focusing on the needs and desires of the Camp Moja campers.
Counselors spend the week working directly with the campers during their daily activities and are provided a selfless experience that is memorable not only for the campers, but for them as well. Counselors must be at least 15 years of age, and submit a youth worker application no later than 6 weeks prior to camp.
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity or would like more information please contact us at campmoja@gmail.com Applications will be available on the website after January 5, 2011.
Counselors and Staff arrive at camp 1 full day before the campers. During this time they are provided with the training needed to make the week successful. The training includes a child protection class, which is required for all first time counselors, as well as a look at the different topics that will help the counselor be the best they can be.
