We desire that Camp Arnes have a distinctly Christian atmosphere and influence.  Though campers come from many religious backgrounds, all are included in Wigam services, grace before meals, Bible Ex, etc.  All staff members participate in leading campers in these Christian initiatives and, in addition, staff are expected to live exemplary Christian lives before campers and staff alike.  In applying for a staff position, you subscribe to high moral, ethical, and spiritual goals, and give assurance that you will try to lead your campers to practice real faith for themselves.  To help us better understand your feelings about our Christian approach to camping, please answer the following question in your own terms.

1. Please write your personal testimony and include all of the following subjects:
  • the circumstances of your personal conversion to Christ & your personal, daily relationship with God
  • why you want to work in a Christian camp & how you feel your talents and skills could be useful here
  • your involvement in ministry (include information about your church and other groups you fellowship/minister with)
2. Name 3 or more goals you would make for yourself personally if you are hired at Camp Arnes.
3. How do you approach conflict? Give an example of conflict you have experienced with someone that you feel was resolved well, as well as an example of one that you feel ended poorly.

Camp Arnes Statement of Faith

Bible We believe that the whole Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
God We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and man.
Man We believe that people were created in the image of God: that they sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical but spiritual death which is separation from God.
Cross We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are justified because of His death on the cross. His death is the only atonement for sin.
Salvation We believe that each individual can become a child of God by being born again of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God, by repentance toward God, by grace through a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Resurrection We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven and in His present life for us, as High Priest and Advocate.
Return We believe in the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for His saints.
Judgment We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the eternal punishment of the wicked.
Life We believe that believers in Christ are to live a life that is separated unto God, dedicated to the service of Christ (Col 3:17), to abstain from all filthiness of flesh and of the spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1)
Repentance We believe that the individual who lives in sin and does not repent, cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.
Church We believe that the Church is a body of believers whose responsibility it is to witness by life and word to the truth and to proclaim the gospel to all nations.
Satan We believe in the reality and personality of Satan, who can exert vast power but only so far as God permits him to do so.

I am in total agreement and full compliance with Camp Arnes Statement of Faith.

I understand that being a Camp Arnes staff member means serving and cooperating with the camp directors and other staff members as unto the Lord Jesus Christ.  I commit to supporting camp policies (ie. regulations regarding meetings, in-cabin times, regular working hours, personal habits and behaviours), sacrificing personal desires, and sharing the reality of Jesus Christ in my life with campers, their families, staff members and visitors of Camp Arnes.  Camp Arnes expects all staff members to be in arrangement with their Statement of Faith and to attend all necessary training sessions.  Camp Arnes maintains the right to dismiss those who do not satisfactorily comply with policies and procedures.

I give permission to Camp Arnes for the use of any video and or photography in a promotional way electronically or hardcopy.
