We are so excited that you are interested in serving as faculty next summer! Camp Northward could not run without our volunteers. ​
​If you are a returning Faculty Member, contact your the Dean you wish to serve with for your registration link.
​
If you have never served as a Faculty Member before at Camp Northward, fill out our Faculty Application by using this link. After you submit the application, the following process will begin:
Phone call: once an individual submits the Faculty Application Form, the Executive ​Director will reach out to schedule a "get to know you" phone call.
​​
​​​
Background check: everyone wishing to serve with campers must have an up-to-date background check on file. After submitting your application you will be sent a link to complete the background check.
​
Trustee Approval: everyone wishing to serve with campers must be approved by our Board of Trustees. The Trustees will review your application, background check, and references before approval.
​​
​
Dean Connection: each session is lead by volunteer leaders we call the "Dean". Each Dean is responsible for their session, including the recruitment of their faculty. After your "get to know you" phone call with the Executive Director, you will be contacted by the Dean in charge of the session you wish to serve with.
​​
​
Faculty Registration: if the Dean agrees to you serving, he will send you a session-specific Faculty Registration form for you to fill out and submit.
​​
​
Safety Training Videos: every faculty member will also receive a link from the camp office staff to complete a short training video. After the video there is a short series of questions to answer before you receive your certificate of completion.
​
If you find any steps in this process confusing, or if you are not sure who to contact about your session, please do not hesitate to contact the camp office for assistance.
​
Once all the above is complete, a faculty member is ready to serve!

Jr. Faculty
Serving as a Jr. Faculty member is an opportunity we extend to those entering 10th grade through 19 years of age.
We love having younger adults helping out at camp! Our junior faculty members bring an energy to campus that we are grateful to have. Here is what you need to know about serving as a Jr. Faculty member at Camp Northward.
​
-
Jr. Faculty conversations need to start with the Dean. The Dean is ultimately responsible for these younger faculty members, so the Dean needs to approve junior faculty members for their session prior to registration. This is also important because there is a cap on how many junior faculty may serve at any given session.
-
The Dean will contact the camp office directly about potential Jr. Faculty members for their session.
-
Jr. Faculty may serve campers 6th grade and younger.
