Each year, Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca hires around 18 summer staff. These staff serve in many capacities:
- Leadership
- Program Specialists
- Counselors
- Lifeguards
Most importantly, all of our staff serve as Christian role models and witnesses to the Christian faith for our campers. All of our staff model Christian living and care for our campers’ physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Many of our staff serve as camp counselors and are directly responsible for caring for our campers throughout their time at Camp. We also hire leadership staff and program specialists, such as people to run our horse program or climbing tower and zip line.
Staff training begins in late May, and our camp season goes through the first week of August. The Leadership Staff start to arrive before Memorial Day and begin a week of training that includes safety and program training.

Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca is a partner camp of the National Lutheran Outdoors Ministry Association (NLOMA). This organization is made up of more than two dozen LCMS camps across the country. We share a common application with the other NLOMA camps. When you apply to work at Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca your application may also be seen by the other NLOMA camps. We’ll have the opportunity to hire you before any other camp, but if we’re full on staff or aren’t able to hire you, we share your application to give you an opportunity to work at a Lutheran camp!
