Staff

Meet the 2009 Newfound/Owatonna staff

The staff at Newfound Owatonna is an outstanding group of young and sometimes not so young people. Each staff member brings, as his or her primary qualification, a love of Christian Science. Added to this is a skill to teach to the campers; swimming, waterskiing, crafts, soccer, etc. Loving to live and work with children is a must. Camp offers a summer filled with hard work, great co-counselors, and terrific campers.

Each summer all staff members come to camp at least 10 days prior to the beginning of the camp season to spend time honing counselor skills and to participate in regional certification clinics in the activities which they will teach. Together, the staff bonds as a group and addresses the many challenges and rewards of working with children in a 24/7 living situation. Staff members quickly realize that they are a counselor, parent, friend, mentor, teacher, confidant, and coach all rolled into one person. It is an exhilarating challenge, and experienced Senior Staff members in each camp are there to help.

Newfound Owatonna is always looking for inspired people who love children. If this sounds like you, please consider being a part of the Newfound Owatonna staff. You will find an application linked to this page. We welcome questions, and look forward to hearing from you if you think camp is the place where you can contribute your skills to help enrich the lives of our campers.
