Cedar Lake Camp provides two opportunities for working at camp: Counselor and Counselor-in-Training

Every counselor and counselor-in-training is carefully screened and selected for their clear dedication to Christ and His work. Many have been campers for years before becoming summer staff. Each staff member goes through our training program and must exhibit a genuine concern for the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives of each of their campers.

If you are a senior in high school or older, you can apply to serve as a counselor at Cedar Lake Camp. You can also apply to be a counselor-in-training. The CIT program is for those who are 15 to 17 years of age.

To apply, you can download and print the application and doctrinal statement. You also need to print 3 reference forms. Give the reference form and a stamped envelope ADDRESSED TO THE CAMP to three people who will be a reference for you. Complete the application and mail to: CEDAR LAKE CAMP, 235 Conatser Lane, Livingston, TN 38570

We look forward to receiving your application and helping you minister to kids this summer!
