Pray for the camp attendance.
- That we will have full camps. (Empty chairs do not make decisions).
- That the Lord will send campers with open hearts.
Pray for God’s Power.
- That the Holy Spirit would direct all speakers and that they will be faithful and effective messengers.
- That the Holy Spirit will have liberty in hearts and lives.
- That the lost will be saved and Christians will be refreshed and challenged.

- That the finances will continue to come in for specific building projects.
- That the finances will continue to come in for specific program needs.
Donate
Camp Joy always appreciates people’s generosity when they donate items to the work of the Lord. We ask that if you have an item that you wish to donate that it be an item that still has a certain amount of value. We would prefer the item to still work and have value i.e a car, a boat, or nice towels.
Please email the office at staff@campjoy.org or call at 262-473-3132. We are willing to come to pick up anything you might have.

Join Us As Summer Staff
Every summer Camp Joy hires high school and college-age young people to serve the varying opportunities of our ministry. Opportunities include Counselors, Housekeeping, Baristas, Maintenance, Kitchen, Shop Workers, Photography, Program Staff, and a whole lot more!
Working at Camp Joy enables you to gain ministry experience, grow in Christ, and meet people from all walks of life. One staff member said, “This has been the best summer of my life!”
Qualifications for Summer Staff
For counseling and program staff positions, we ask that the young person be at least 18 years old with attendance of a Bible believing church. We at times make exceptions with age. Other positions require young people that are at least 15 years old with the desire to grow in Christ while they are here.
What Happens When I Send in an Application?
Our recruitment staff will begin processing it as soon as it arrives. We will call the applicants references. We will decide from there whether the applicant is accepted or denied as potential staff. We will then send out a contract. If it is signed, it should then be sent back to Camp Joy. After that, information will be sent out and preparations will begin.
*Please note* (Contract is a legal binding document. It is expected that if you sign the contract that you will come and be a part of the staff.)
Will I be paid?
Camp Joy has a program that enables a way of generating financial and prayer support for our summer staff. It allows them to send out letters informing friends and family of their need. This helps support the pay we give to summer staff. All money donated to our summer staff program goes directly to a staff member. It is a wonderful opportunity to partner with our summer staff in this ministry.
