APPLICATIONS
Together with other nationwide Lutheran camps, Lutherhaven Ministries recruits camp staff during Joint Recruitment through the National Lutheran Outdoor Ministry Association (NLOMA). On your application you'll choose your first and second choice camps to work at and/or pick a region of the country where you might be interested in working for the summer. (If you want to apply solely to Lutherhaven, simply write "Lutherhaven, Idaho" where it asks for your first choice camp.) Working together with other camps helps you find a camp to best serve for the summer.
Find other Lutheran camps through the National Lutheran Outdoors Ministry Association or the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We usually get more applications than we can hire, so all of our applications go through the national recruiting process to maximize yur jobpossibilities. We appreciate you applying to work here, but also encourage you to think of other possibilities in Outdoor Ministries across the country.
