There are many factors involved when placing JP Staff members on a camp week. We take into consideration the JP staff as a team. Determining factors include the strengths of staff members as well as a balance of new and veteran staff members. All week placement dates will be discussed with each staff member to confirm their availability.

You will also be given the opportunity to register to serve with JP for two weeks of camp, provided you have a week break in between the staffing weeks. If you are interested in serving two JP weeks please be sure to indicate that on the application.

Please Note: The more weeks you are able to check that you are available, the easier it will be to ensure you are placed on a camp week!

How did you hear about staffing with JP? *

If you heard about JP from your Youth Pastor or through a JP staffer, please provide us with their name:

Staff Training at the Jeremiah Project is a significant piece of our staffing model. This includes completing training modules online prior to your arrival, as well as in-person training when you arrive on Saturday.

During in-camp training you will hang out and get to know a group of strangers who will quickly become your new JP Staff family. There are late nights together of laughing, talking and getting to know each other and growing together towards God.

You will need to arrive at Staff Training on Saturday by 12:00pm. All staffers MUST attend the entirety of Staff Training and the camp week.

By typing your name below you understand that attending Staff Training is required of you as a JP Staff member.

As part of the leadership team, you will need to have a vehicle in camp with you all week. You will be driving to your worksite Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of your camp week.

Please select the statement which best applies to you:*

It is JP's policy for those in a dating relationship not to staff the same week together.*

The safety and security of those whom God has placed in our care is of the utmost importance to the Jeremiah Project. It is because of this responsibility that JP runs comprehensive background checks on all JP staff and volunteers. If you are accepted in a JP Staff position and are over the age of 18, then a background check must be completed. We have partnered with a professional screening company and will provide you with a secure electronic release form and background check form.
