We are excited about your interest in joining the Sae Jong Camp team. Our camp has been in existence for over 35 years providing quality programming and incredible experiences to our campers. This has been possible only with the dedication and enthusiasm of our talented staff members. They have all shared our passion to achieve our camp’s mission: “To provide all Korean-American children the opportunity to explore their Korean-American identities, learn about their Korean heritage and make friendships to last a lifetime.”

Sae Jong Camp is located on the grounds of Camp Westminster, a beautiful wooded parcel on the northern shore of Higgins Lake near Roscommon, MI. The camp seems rustic to some, but has all the amenities a favorite camp experience can offer.

Sae Jong Camp 2012 will be in session from
Sunday, August 4 through Saturday, August 10, 2013.

Staff members are required to attend mandatory pre-camp staff training from
Friday, August 2, 2013 and stay through Sunday, August 11, 2013.

Please note that you must be 19 years old or more by August 1st in order to apply for a counselor or assistant counselor position.

Please read about our staff roles & responsibilities. If you agree to accept the responsibilities, meet the staff requirements, are excited about joining our team, and committed to achieving our mission, then please complete our online staff application. Please answer every question thoughtfully and thoroughly. Our decision will primarily be based on your responses and experience. (The number of available positions depends on the number of qualified returning staff members.) If you are interested in being a staff member, but unsure of your availability, please do go ahead and fill out the forms making that notation, so we can consider you in the event that you are available.
