Express interest now for Summer 2022!
For over three decades, the ELCA’s International Camp Counselor program has been inviting young adults from around the world to work as camp counselors at the ELCA-affiliated summer camps. This program gives summer camps like yours the opportunity to open their campers and staff to the gifts of the global church, and it provides transformative leadership development experiences to young adults from our global partners. Participating in this program is an excellent opportunity for you to enhance the internationalization of your ministry and to bring critical expertise and perspective to your staff team.
We have already begun accepting applications from prospective international counselors for Summer 2022. Because of the pandemic, we are planning for a smaller than usual group of counselors this year. We are closely monitoring the pandemic situation, and it is still possible that the Summer 2022 season for this program will be impacted or cancelled. Safety of participants is our number one priority. We will keep you informed if there are any changes in plans.
The next stage in the process is for camps to formally submit their interest to our team. If your camp is interested in participating in our applicant placement process this year, please fill out the form at the link below. Camps should submit the form no later than February 15.

An email with more details about the program was sent to all camp primary contacts on January 10, 2022. If you did not receive that email or need additional information about the program, please email Kaleb.Sutherland@elca.org and Ann.Hightower@elca.org. We look forward to working with many of you to place excellent international counselors!
