SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT
JOIN OUR TEAM!
Serve with purpose in a community of fellow believers!
Campus by the Sea is a Christian Camp located beachfront on Catalina Island. We host church and school retreats, youth camps, and family camps from March until November.
Our idyllic location and strong Christian leadership offer a one-of-a-kind experience for you to serve God, grow in your faith, and enjoy God’s creation.
We’re looking to hire “Seasonal Employees” for three months (late February -May) or for nine months (late February -November). We have paid positions available on our Kitchen and Grounds Crew/Waterfront teams.
Benefits include housing in camp, most meals, and on-the-job training.
Life at Campus by the Sea means living and working in our private cove steps from the ocean as we serve campers for God’s glory. We are looking for Christ-centered, selfless, and hardworking individuals with a strong work ethic and the ability to live and work in a close-knit Christian community.
Our Campus by the Sea staff have access to unique outdoor recreation, including world-class snorkeling, diving, and ocean fishing, as well as hiking and other activities. You might find yourself snorkeling with a sea turtle or on a boat chasing pods of dolphins or whales — every day means a new adventure.
You will also have the opportunity to make lifelong friends in Christian fellowship while deepening your own walk with Christ. A season working at Campus by the Sea can be transformative and life-changing.

“ISLAND LIFE” PERKS
Catalina Island is the dream playground for ocean/outdoor adventure and exploration. We encourage our staff to “Embrace the Island” and to take full advantage of everything Catalina has to offer! Seasonal staff have full access to our recreational equipment, including wetsuits, snorkel gear, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear, wakeboards, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and so much more.
The hiking trails within our cove offer incredible ocean views and are perfect for trail running for those looking for an exciting workout. The island’s rugged interior also happens to be home to wild Bison.
The main harbor city of Avalon, just down the coast, offers a variety of unique local restaurants and businesses, including local Christian fellowship circles!
There are also opportunities to pay to get SCUBA certified in Avalon and to explore Catalina’s world-famous diving.
