NOTE: Staff Training is included in the week you serve.  You will need to arrive at staff training on Thursday at 5:00pm.  Typically, staff is able to leave by 1:00pm the Saturday camp ends.

For applicants 18 and older:

In the interest of safety for all campers, the Jeremiah Project requires background checks for its entire staff.  Each staffer is responsible for obtaining the appropriate background checks and is responsible for all costs associated with background checks.  This amount is usually under $25.00.

“If I am accepted for a staff position I will provide the required completed background checks at my own cost.  I understand that at a minimum, I will complete a Criminal History Record Form SP-167 through the Virginia State Police (or similar) and a Central Registry Search through the Virginia Department of Social Services (or similar) no later than June 1, 2009.”

 

Parent approval required for Junior Staff applicants only:  By typing your name, you understand the financial commitment that may be required by you as the parent if your church is unable to provide financial support.  You are also aware of the date your son or daughter has requested to serve and do not have any conflicting events that would preclude your son or daughter from participating the entire time.
