Summer Staff at Camp Onomia

Our summer staff are carefully selected, background-checked, and trained through a comprehensive two-week program. They are equipped for the emotional, physical, and spiritual safety of every camper.

More than that, they are fun, engaging, and faithful role models who help create a positive, Christ-centered community where campers can grow, explore, and thrive.

Summer Employment

At Camp Onomia, mealtime is something everyone looks forward to! Kids love the tasty, fresh, homemade options, and adults will enjoy them too. We can accommodate most allergies and dietary preferences, and for severe intolerances, please call ahead so we can plan safe, appropriate meals. Campers are also welcome to bring some of their own foods if needed.

Our canteen offers a variety of snacks, including dairy-free, gluten-free, and plant-based options, with limits on purchases to keep things fair. To help keep our cabins clean and critter-free, food is not allowed in the lodging areas.

All are welcome at Camp Onomia, whether you’re new to faith or looking to grow. Camp Onomia is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

Our summer programs are rooted in Christ through creative, interactive Bible studies, worship, prayer stations, meal graces, and care of creation. We are here to support the faith lives of campers of all ages, providing parents and congregations with the tools they need to continue nurturing faith at home and in their communities.
