Our trained staff and counselors are passionate about creating a memorable, fun and safe experience for all.
One of the more unique aspects of ECC is that most of our counseling staff is made up of young people who once attended the program as campers themselves. Because of this system, each counselor has a deep understanding of the essence of our community, and their lives have been touched and transformed by their own experience at ECC. They are well-trained and able to provide excellent care to the children and teens who attend, and are able to welcome campers into the community in a loving and inclusive way – the way they were once welcomed.
Staff positions at ECC are often filled by former campers, but we do accept applications from anyone interested. Candidates that would be considered for hire would need to have experience working with children and an understanding of the importance of Christian community.
