Camp Overview
Founded in 1966, and owned and operated by The Salvation Army, Camp Arnold is located on 670 pristine acres, with a spectacular view of Mount Rainier, secluded meadows, and a breath taking wetland beaver habitat. We have 3 miles of nature trails, canoeing on our peaceful lake, a challenge course and much more! Our mission is to use this beautiful setting as a means to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, teach environmental awareness, encourage positive social behavior and safely provide opportunities for fun and adventure.
Camp Arnold offers several life-impacting sessions through three models - Overnight Camps (5-10 day long sessions), Wilderness Experiences, and Day Camps. There are a number of different ways for you to serve as a summer leader! Whichever position you choose to apply for, you will have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of campers and other summer leaders.
STAFF TIME OFF
Staff are provided 1-2 days off between sessions. These days are normally weekends, but at times fall on week days due to varying length camps.
STAFF QUALITIES
A strong commitment to Christ and a desire to serve. Practical knowledge of the Bible and the willingness to share that with others. Applicants should be mature and responsible with a desire to respect the rules and policies of Camp Arnold. Information about The Salvation Army's beliefs and Positional Statement are available online or can be seen on our website. Staff don't need to agree with our statements and doctrines but must be willing to not teach anything contrary to them.
