FAQ’s about working at Camp
Have other questions? Let’s chat!
What do camp staff get paid?
Starting pay is $425 per week + room and board! If you are a returning staff to FLBC, or have worked at another camp, you’ll earn an additional $10/week (i.e., second summer on staff = $435/week, 5th summer on staff = $475)
Additional incentives are available for lifeguards, turning in all employment paperwork early, fulfilling the full extended summer contract, and some help with transportation!
Each staff’s compensation package will be outlined in their contract!
What does a typical day look like?
Well, every day at camp is a new adventure, but you might find yourself leading archery, taking campers to the swim beach, leading team building initiatives and much more!
Every week we offer a variety of programming ranging from day camps, onsite camps, outpost programming and our glacier wilderness program, so you might find yourself leading any or all of these throughout the summer. (See a sample of programming offered here)
Our two week staff training program covers all that you will need to know to work with each of these programs; many of our offsite glacier wilderness camps will have additional training in specific backcountry or specialized skills to lead those programs.
What about weekends?
Every staff person will likely work one weekend in the summer to help provide programming and hospitality to the groups that are on retreat over the weekend. When working your one weekend, days off will be given throughout the week.
Besides those working the weekend, staff will be off Friday evening (Following our weekly friday staff meeting) and will be back onsite ready to work Sunday at 9am (we will begin every Sunday with a 9am staff meeting to prep for the upcoming week, have brunch and morning worship and then finish final preparations for the incoming campers. On your days off it’s your time to nap, do laundry (Onsite camp has limited laundry facility use) , explore the beauty of Northwest Montana, go shopping, or do whatever is necessary to take care of yourself and prepare for the week ahead!
When does summer camp end?
Our regular summer programming begins June 27th 2027 and ends August 6th 2027.
Do I have to be Lutheran to work at FLBC?
Nope! All we ask is that you are willing to share God’s love with everyone at camp, and be a part of a Christian community that affirms Lutheran values. During our staff training, we will teach you how to lead an engaging bible study, plan and lead camp style worships and campfires, as well as have some Lutheran 101 conversations. The conversations and questions that we have about God and faith are continued throughout the summer as we lead campers through their own faith journeys and accompany one another on ours.
Do I have to work the entire summer, or can I work part of the summer?
Hiring preference is given to applicants who can commit to working at camp for the entire summer. However, we encourage you to apply if you are only available for part of the summer.
Do you do internships?
Yes! We can work to meet your school’s requirements in almost any field.
