Staff

Wilderness Canoe Base is a Christian community who seeks to serve groups from all social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Bearing this in mind, staff members should be Christian Men and Women who

  • Are open to sharing their faith through words and actions
  • Refrain from judgment as they listen to others share their faith stories.
  • Will commit themselves to reading the scriptures and prayer on a daily basis.
  • Are committed to refraining from and struggling against destructive lifestyles understanding the brokenness of human sin.
  • Recognize that parents have entrusted their children to us for one week of safe wilderness experiences and Christ centered leadership.
  • long to serve and love others in a pristine and rustic wilderness
  • Are not afraid to work hard and get dirty doing it

Staff training begins Memorial Day weekend and continues for a period of two weeks. During that time you will be given opportunities to complete certain requirements such as: CPR, Wilderness First Aid, and Wilderness Water Safety.

This year there are opportunities to start serving in this ministry as early as May 1st and to stay as long as Oct 15th.  There will also be January and February positions available in 2008.  Individuals interested in these extended months of ministry need to contact the Base immediately.
